Hi all, excuse my inexperience. I need to create a unattend cd for starters to use on many Dell optiplex's. I have the Dell xpPro SP2 CD. I've use xp deployment tools to create unattend.txt I then overwrote this to the WINNT.SIF file in folder 1386 (to run from cd boot) (the original WINNT.SIF is below) ;ive x out the product key [userData] ProductKey="****************************" [Data] MSDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes [Components] Fax=On ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;below is the new created file ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=* [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=3a63f2dcf79b974faad3b435b51404ee3403c46dd22992116bd26a70dbac67c1 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 [userData] ProductKey=***************************************** FullName="Name" OrgName="Company" ComputerName=* [TapiLocation] CountryCode=353 AreaCode=067 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes With the new WINNT.SIF it wont boot, I need to add applications etc but I can't even get past base one. Any help greatly appreciated to get me on my way. gillcelt
