I'm a rookie here and I have been trying to make an unattended
installation work for 10 days with limited success.
First, it didn't resolve itself to the mapped drive \\ntinstall\install
<file:///\\ntinstall\install> although it had no problem pinging
\\ntinstall <file:///\\ntinstall> (correct ip address for fileserver)
and I could open it up from Start - Run. I could change the default to
\\servername\install <file:///\\servername\install> and it would pick
up the mapped z drive. Then it wouldn't accept the 'guest' username and
password. By entering my own network username and password, it would
allow me to continue and make a somewhat successful installation.
So, I renamed my XP box 'ntinstall' and deleted the DNS CNAME entry.
Now when I run the boot disk, it resolves fine for \\ntinstall\install
<file:///\\ntinstall\install> but it still won't accept the default
password for the 'guest' account. It only works (somewhat successfully)
when I enter my own network username and password.
I would really appreciate any help that you can offer.
Thanks.
