Is it possible to set up Unattended so that it does a truly unattended
install?
What I mean:
- Unattended only asks if one wants to format the disk;
- hostname is retrieved automatically from DHCP, database or a file,
and the installation commences
It would have the following advantages:
- no need to remember hostnames if one installs many workstations,
- duplicate hostnames are no longer possible,
- easier installation for non-techie personnel.
I renew my question - I just looked at the "CSV file" method, and it
seems to me that it's a totally "static" method, when compared with RIS
and AD.
If there is no MAC address in the file, Unattended will not
auto-generate the name in a specified format; and if the user gives the
name, the MAC address will not be appended to the current unattend.csv file.
With many workstations, it's not really a good choice.
An ideal would be something like that:
- configurable "prefix" for all workstations, i.e. a prefix of "pc" for
all workstations (pc001, pc002 etc.) installed with Unattended
- if the workstation is in the database, install it quietly
- if the workstation is not in the database, generate a missing part
after "prefix" (could be configurable; numbers 1-1000 etc.), and add it
to the database
- some more features/configuration options I forgot to mention
But I guess it's not possible?
Perhaps with Unattended 4.7?
