Hi Allan,
I'm not a member of the project. Just a user. Everything I've learned is
from reading the documentation and searching through the mailing list
archives and trial and error.
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/documentation.php
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/lists.php
You can make changes to the unattend.txt under z:\lib, you can also read up
on the documentation for dynamic site configuration (see documentation link
above) and use files under z:\site
I don't use guest either. I have my setup to where it asks me the
following, some of these could be auto-answered, but I don't like putting
passwords in text files.
-- username/password to connect to the \\ntinstall\install share
-- Which version of Windows
-- Base install config (I have 4 workstation setups)
-- Optional applications
-- username/password to join domain
-- password for local admin account
-- drivers
I think that's about it. I'm using a csv file for the dynamic site config
to feed the windows key and a few other settings. About a minute to setup
and answer a few prompts and I walk away for an hour, then it's done. I've
removed the dotnet and directx installations and made those optional, that
alone has saved 2 reboots and a considerable chunk of time. I've also
removed all the unneccessary reboots while installing Windows and Office
updates, replacing ".reboot-on 194" with ".ignore-err 194". I would link to
the post I found that in on the archive, but it looks like there is
currently some problems with the archive. I'm getting a 403 forbidden error
message, actually it looks like mail-archive.com is having some issues.
