if you use commands.txt you should put the [Commands] into the row 12. atleast that's the problem I had in WinNT unattended installs and I put that to WinXP unattended install aswell, haven't had any problems since.

Crusher's method works... but you can also use $oem$ -folder and put the files under $Docs\user\My Documents and it will go to the user's My Documents -folder. dunno if that's the harder way? but I used that in my first working install...

corrections to earlier: autologon.cmd, change that to autologon.reg and this is straight from http://unattended.msfn.org so please check this url first before asking more... cheers!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="John" "DefaultPassword"="asdf1234" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" -- This is what you should use if you want to use a useraccount different than the admin-account... put this into like autologon.cmd and include it to your install-script

or atleast I had to have when installing from cd

your script has to have "Windows Registry Editor 5.0" on the first line of the script.cmd or what ever you've named your script...

it's because of those idents... or i think it is... if not, it's because you've named your answerfile unattend.txt when it should be winnt.sif. if you install the os from a cd as an unattended install it HAS to be winnt.sif (and that decreases the options you can use in setup)

It could be because your uname is in more groups than only in 'users' and that other group doesn't have rights to print... you could try to create a user that is only in the 'users' group... that could help, dunno about the USB-thingie, could be that via USB you have to be a admin to use the port -> printer

Hello to everybody! I'm a system administrator in Finlands finest I control over 12k workstations and over 100 servers all around Finland I love to play with MS-stuff, making scripts and RIS-packets But be WARNED, I have a BRIDE!

I think it's because the cd-install... I wondered about the same thing. It works great with RIS-install
