I would also like to create a "Server" install that doesn't include
anything other than the selected O/S, since we build servers for their
individual requirements...
Have a look at the unattended.csv and the sample-config.pl in the \site\ folder.
To activate the use of the unattended.csv rename the config.pl to config.pl-dist and then copy the sample-config.pl to config.pl
Now put in the MAC address of the computers into the unattended.csv.
I would recommand to strip down the base.bat to only the stuff which is needed on all installation and put additional stuff into other scripts, which can be set as middle= in the unattended.csv. In the [_meta] section of unattended.txt put middle="" or else the installation will ask which *.bat to use, the unattended.csv should look something like this:
------------------------------------------------------ "Lookup","Property","Value" "000C2949300E","ComputerName","dudley"
"000C29AA28F1","ComputerName","nick" "000C29AA28F1","middle_scripts","workstation.bat" ------------------------------------------------------
In this example the computer dudley gets only a base install (eg. only base.bat) and the computer nick gets also the workstation.bat executed.
3) How do I change the default timezone?... We're in Pacific time, I
In the unattended.txt (this example is for the CET):
[GuiUnattended]
TimeZone=110As a good help to generate some default settings to use in the unattended.txt I used the setupmgr.exe tool from the deploy.cab, which is located in the \support\tools\ subfolder of the OS install CD. In this .cab is also the ref.chm which is a reference for the unattended.txt
have another site that's on Mountain (they will have their own server), and I notice that the install puts the machine into the Eastern Timezone...
Maybe you will find a way to change this afterwards through a registry setting, so you can run it in the middle_script.
