Txtsetup.oem and proper 'stansa' in unattend.txt - I believe.

Subject: AW: [Unattended] Using Nlite prepared install files with unattended

Hi!

Thank you for your fast answer.
I don't know if I understood it.

You include the postinst.bat into an nlite CD, for GUIRunOnce, don't you?
But I want to start the nlite CD via Network, from a Network share!

Like preparing the stuff I want to install with nlite, copy it to the network-share
of the unattended server, boot the linux boot-cd and install my nlite prepared
folder without the script asking me questions. Because i answered all of them
with nlite.

I think there is something to change during the bootup, which files do I have
to edit?

Thanks again
Eike Bleidistel

If you use nLite, then you don't need an unattended server - just the unattended script files that you need.

I include all the unattended bin, scripts, and packages folders in the $oem$\$1 directory on the nLite CD.    The primary unattended script file postinst.bat is called from the winnt.sif file after the OS installation is completed by using the GUIRunOnce directive - see sample below.

------------------winnt.sif------------------------
;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    ConfirmHardware=no
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    NoWaitAfterTextMode=1
    FileSystem=LeaveAlone
    NtUpgrade=no
    Win31Upgrade=no
    TargetPath=\Windows
    OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=no
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\NIC\Intel;Drivers\NIC\SIS900;Drivers\NIC\Realtek
    UnattendSwitch=Yes

[UserData]
    FullName = "Owner"
    OrgName = "Company Name"
    ComputerName = *
    ProductID="M227V-K8V93-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"


[GuiUnattended]
    TimeZone=35
    OemSkipWelcome=1
    AdminPassword=*
    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
    AutoLogon=Yes
    AutoLogonCount=5
    OEMSkipRegional=1

[Network]
    Attend=yes
    InstallProtocols=ProtocolsSection
    JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[ProtocolsSection]
    TC=TCParameters
    NBF=NetBeuiParams

[TCParameters]
    DHCP=yes
    DNSDomain = .mycompany.com

[Data]
    AutoPartition=1
    MsDosInitiated=0
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

[GuiRunOnce]
    ; Command which runs after OS installation finishes
    Command0="C:\netinst\postinst.bat"

------------------------------------------------

--------c:\netinst\postinst.bat-----------
set Z=C:
call c:\scripts\perl.bat
PATH=c:\bin;%PATH%
todo.pl .reboot
todo.pl "autolog.pl --logon=0"
todo.pl c:\scripts\master.bat
todo.pl --go
---------------------------------------------

To summarize, when using an nLite Installation CD or DVD,   the unattended stuff is only required during the post installation phase.   So issues such as disk partitioning and formatting are handled by XP/2003 Setup program or via directives in the winnt.sif file.

        Hi,

        please excuse my english.

        I am new to this project, but I already configured and installed it.
        The first install worked out without any problems.

        My question is.
        I always used nLite to prepare my install files, burned them on cd and
        installed
        my various computers. Now I just want to use those prepared CDs combined
        with unattended-Server.
        I don't want to answer the questions the script is asking. Just start my
        nLite-Image via network
        and using the sif file.

        Is it possible?

        Sorry but i didn't find any answers in the archive.

        With regards
        Eike
