I am having problems getting the MachineObjectOU="" setting working in the [identification] section of the unattend.txt. This works, and the domain is joined [identification] JoinDomain=drdl However, when I add... [identification] JoinDomain=drdl MachineObjectOU="OU = DRDL Laptops,OU = DRDL Standard Computers,OU = DRDL Client Computers,DC = drdl,DC=newgrp,DC = co,DC = uk" It not only fails to join the OU, but the domain as well! It is a windows 2003 domain, and the account being used to join the domain has the add workstation to domains priv. Not really sure what to try now, whether I need the JoinDomain entry as well? Any suggestions? Mat.

I did try that. I copied a modified boot.ini to : i386\$oem$\C but the same thing happened, am I putting this in the wrong place ?

I have a small (3mb) partiton on the hard disk which connects to the network, calls the XP installation with an unattended file. The problem I have is... After the XP installation files have been copied from the network, on first reboot I get the message : Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windows\system32\hal.dll The problem is that the dafault boot.ini for XP has the line : multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS= Partition 1 being my hidden 'utility' partition and hence cannot boot. Is there a way to set XP's boot partition in the unattended or similar file ? so it will boot off of a specified partition ? ie. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS= Many thanks Mat.
