Although you are not saking for it I suspect you will use at leat one case fan. I recomend taking a look at everflow fans. They are a little below papst in performance but also quiteter. However they are much cheaper. I have also noticed that on my more expensive Thermal Take fans it is stated "made by everflow"

I would reccomend cutting out air vents in the back of the cabinate and even installing small fans there.. I have seen many untimly death of computers due to conjested cabinets. |Drew| I belive it is better to cut/drill out ventilation in the celing of the cabinet, and install a fan up there. The fan does not need to shovel around lots of air. (so you can use a quiet fan ). A fan placed there causes good airflow within the cabinet and it also sucks out the hot air traveling upwards

Yes that is about it. You can find more information about this if you google for bat commandos. Here is a code I used for a unattended installation: @echo off ECHO cleaning up if exist %systemdrive%\install echo removes folder if exist %systemdrive%\install rd /S /Q %systemdrive%\install ECHO connects to share net use x: \\ris\office mrsdata /USER:ris /PERSISTENT:NO ECHO Installs Office x:\PROPLUS.MSI TRANSFORMS=unattend.MST /qr echo shutting down shutdown -r -t 30 -c "Var god vänta. Startar om för sista gången." echo All Done! This script removes the C:\install folder created by $eom$ later it connects to a network share and installs office from it. Finally it reboots the computer. You just as you wrote put it into a textfiles and saves it as a .cmd run it from GuiRunOnce or whereever you find it suitable.

I have created a unattended DVD mostly based on the great guides provided by msfn But I also need to do the same thing using a RIS server. I got everything working except for hotfixes I have tried the same way as with the dvd using svcpack.inf but I does not work. There seems to be no documentation on this subject at all anywhere. Does anyone know how to or how to find information about deploying hotfixes on a ris server?

Are you using RIS or is it just a regular network share? I recommend using RIS if it is possible.

I want my unattended setup to automaticly update the installation during/after the install. Is there an unattended switch to have the installation connect to windows update and install what it find. Perferably silent. I have tried DUDisable = No but it seems to have no effect what so ever. Can this be done and how?

I am attempting to install Office XP from a RIS server I set up. I follow the guide on msfn. Installing without the .mst works fine but when I throw the .msi in the picture it craches out after "preparing install" popup. If is go to run on the start menu of the RIS server and write "X:\office\install.exe TRANSFORMS=X:\office\unatteded.mst /qb-" it starts to install and the craches to desktop. Any idea what the problem is? Are there any good sites for troubleshooting office over RIS or for office RIS in general? The RIS server is running win2k pro and the klient is a XP.
