No, you do not need to install Perl, but you do need to download the correct distribution. Pearl is installed via the GUI runonce section of unattended. If the script to install Perl is looking for ActivePerl-5.7.7.815-MSWin32-x86-211909.msi and you download ActivePerl-5.8.7.815-MSWin32-x86-211909.msi, it will not work. > I'm on the step: Populate packages directory (substep of "Prepare the > Operating > System (and Software) distribution point"). > How do I run that prepare script under windows? I have never used the prepare script, as I think it requires korn shell. I think it can be run from cygwin. Look through the mail archives. > An other question to a previous step: > > Setting up DNS for Windows: > > I've got an DNS Server on my Domain Server. > Does the Windows 2000 Server (where unattended should run) to be in the > domain? I don't think it is required, but it will make things easier. Also, you can use Server 2003, 2000 isn't required. > I've set up an second DNS Server (on the Win2K Server) only for the CNAME, > is that correct, or do I need to set it up on the Domain Server? I'm not really sure what you asking here. If your DNS DHCP options point to your Domain Server (I am assuming you mean Domain Controller here) then you will need it there as well.
