Hello -

I recently got the unattended system going in a lab to test it out. The only downside I see with the project is the length of time it takes to install the OS and applications. For my situation it takes just about 3 1/2 hours to install Windows XP, Office, hotfixes, and a few other applications. In 3 hours I can build 2 machines by hand. How can I expect a user to wait 3 hours while their machine is rebuilt? This doesn't seem reasonable. Comparatively I can use our RIS system or use RIPREP images and rebuild a system in about an hour.

Is there something I can do to speed things up with this system? Does it take everyone who uses this system this long to build machines?

If you do not bother you can disable the annoying reboot martahon while Windows Updates are installed.

How do you disable the automatic reboots? By removing the ".reboot-on 194"? If you use Autopatcher, it only reboots after installing all the updates.
