I have been using unattended installs since NT 4.0 and find it the best way to deploy computers. I only wish I had found this site/list when we were getting started.
My problem:
I have an old building (school) with three foot thick concrete walls and floors that I need to get network access to. Most of the rooms in the building are wired (1st,2nd, and 4th floors), but there is an entire floor that has no network infrastructure. I have two options: 1.) Spend close to 100k wiring the entire floor for one computer in each classroom. 2.) Use Orinoco/Proxim AP-2000 54g access points to connect the stations via wireless.
I will go with the wireless if I can continue an unattended setup for these classroom computers. The wireless coverage will be overlaping and there will be strong signals to every room. Is there a way using the Linux boot disc that I can unattend these computers over a secured (WPA2) wireless connection? The network cards will be Dell (Broadcom) 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI integrated laptop cards and Orinoco 8482 a/b/g PCI Gold cards.
I would assume the Linux boot disc is the way to startout, then applying a 2003 Group Policy durning the start of the unattended to apply the correct security settings for XP. Has anyone done this?
Thank you,
Alan
