I have been using unattended for some time now based ona Samba server running on mandrake - all was well. But I had to change the IP range that my domain lived on and things fell apart.
I finally managed to get Samba working again (I do not know Linux very well at all) after a fashion, but now in samba.conf I have to list users in the explicit form domain\username rather than just 'username' which used to be the case.
This has had some weird side effects including the DOS boot disk stopping working - I had to create a local account on the linux box to kick off the build process - and when W2K comes up the administrator account password has been set to something unknown, the correct value is in unattend.ini in c:\netinst but it fails to work.
Any hints as to what I might have changed to make Samba start acting that way would be most useful - I have a backlog of machines that I need to build and I have almost forgotten how to do it by hand :-)
A not very elegant but effective method to get rid off all authentication troubles with samba is to set "ecurity mode = share" in the global section of your /etc/samba/smb.conf. Then Samba will behave like a Windows 9x PC and anybody can access the install share.
