eggy524 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Can the XP's guide to XP Unattended Installation be used for windows 2000 Professional as well? Not just the slip streaming and the winnt.sif use but the $OEM$ folders and installations of programs and drivers as well. Is it exactly the same method as the XP Unattended?

andrewpayne Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 With Windows 2000 - I have had no joy with CMDLINES.TXT and RunOnceEx.cmd as per the XP Unattended Guide - has anyone else? The keys should be the same - but do not appear to run or even start - just ignored!I'd rather not go back to batch files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.J!M Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 You have to copy the REG.exe that isn't integrate to windows 2000.Copy it to $OEM$\$$\System32This is the content of mine:cmdow.exe --> to hide black screen of batch;)gdiplus.dll --> to run xp screensaveroeminfo.ini --> IT contactoemlogo.bmp --> My corporate logoreg.exe --> must have for RunOnceEx.cmd on w2KShutdown.exe --> to reboot after install of appzssmypics.scr --> xp screensaverthe xp register and 2K are 98% the same (except for msn dummy shortcut, and the default security holeS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewpayne Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Thanks! I knew there must be a reason for the RunOnceEx.cmd to be apparantly ignored!BTW - where can I find this REG.EXE file? I can only find REGEDIT.EXE and SETREG.EXE after installing Windows 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewpayne Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Found it! REG.EXE is a command line tool provided by MS Resource Kit to alter and query the Registry!More info on I386.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewpayne Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 with a little tinkering - I found this topic (UpdateXP 2.0) which has a superb 'utility' called UpdateXP which together with QCHAIN installs all Type 1 and type 2 hotfixes that are placed in the corresponding folders. Although this utility was designed for XP (hence the name!) - I have used this for Windows 2000 Unattended.Works a treat (with the ONLY exception being the MDAC update which needs its own entry in RunOnceEx.cmd after the other Post SP4 hotfixes are applied)Any future hotfixes can then simply be copied into either Type1 or Type2 folder with no further coding (as fully explained in the Word Readme document downloaded with the UpdateXP utility from the above topic)I have used this method and now can have a fully patched/updated Windows 2000 Professional installation in little under 40 minutes! Thanks again to MrJ!m for pointing out my initial stumbling block (REG.EXE)!
