add this to the reg. should do the trick. ;Set auto arrange desktop [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop] "FFlags"=dword:00000225

I did a diff with the files under c: created after running winnt32.exe. Found that OriSrc in "c:\$WIN_NT.~BT\winnt.sif" was set to "A:\I386" instead of the correct value "X:\w2k3r2" when run winnt32.exe with unattended: option. Change this back to correct value fixed the problem. Does anyone know why this wrong value is generated?

If no one has seen such problem, any suggestion on how to debug this?

I've created a UBCD4Win + unattended 2003 R2 installation DVD. After booting the DVD, a partitioning script and winnt32.exe will be executed for fully automated 2003 R2 installation with auto partitioning. Installation went OK. The problem is when I try to install adminpak, it asks for a MS 2003 Server installation Disc. If I proceed without /unattended: option and do normal attended installation. This problem will not show. Anyone knows why or have the same experience? Here are the winnt32 commands I tried: d:\w2k3r2\i386\winnt32.exe /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c /unattend:"d:\unattended.txt" /makelocalsource /noreboot d:\w2k3r2\i386\winnt32.exe /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c /makelocalsource /noreboot

attached is the screen shot of the error.

Hi inthewyboy, Thanks for the reply. I don't think moving CMPNENT dir to w2k3r2 works. I've tried copying all files from R2's i386 to \I386 and it works. But this does not seems to be an elegant solution because I am wasting about 100MB space on the disc with duplicated files. It takes time to find out what files exactly admin pack checks and I am just wondering if anyone here has the solution.

I was trying to do auto partition, unattended installation of 2003 server R2 and admin pak installation with a BartPE DVD. The DVD contains BartPE and the content of the R2 discs. Partitioning and unattended installation work fine. When it comes to installation admin pak after the 1st auto login, it complains my DVD is not MS installation disc and refuses to continue. Here is my dir structure on the DVD \ \I386 (from BartPE's) \programs (from BartPE) \w2k3R2\I386 (copy i386 from R2 disc 1) \CMPNENTS (from R2 disc 2) \w2k3R2\$OEM$ \w2k3R2\$OEM$\$1 \w2k3R2\$OEM$\$$ Seems like some files are missing in \I386 and admin pak cannot identify the DVD as R2 installation disc. Please help.
