LOL, I don't think I actually said that NTFS was better I just pointed out the benefits of NTFS in a limited fashion. To be honest I doubt anyone would actually notice that they were using FAT32 or NTFS unless they hit the file size limit. As the file size limit is the problem here or one of them then I would say get onto NTFS and forget all your troubles and workarounds for FAT32. My method might be crude but I love a freshly built machine... Also my method is one of many and the best one for you is the one that matters.

Just get with the times and use NTFS, at the very least you get a lot more security. Without thinking about this to much the compromises of FAT32 are not worth the hassle i.e. largest file size.... Rebuild your PC it takes less than an hour including installing essential apps, you have a modern File Structure, fast OS as its fresh and no file size restrictions.... It's a no brainer....

The code to pass the Yes to the question is ECHO Y | FORMAT E: /FS:NTFS /Q /V:Applications Thanks for the help

win51ip.sp3 this is the section of the script you have to worry about, it looks for this file on the CD if it is there then the %CDROM% parameter is set but if it does not find it then it will not be set. Change this to the file on the CD you have and it will work Don't worry I am on a steep learning curve with creating unattended installs so if this is wrong shoot me!!!!

This will work short term but the problem will be back. I have had this problem in the past but only on our test servers so just get the users (10) to delete this key. Maybe worth investigating a longer term fix

I am going to assume some things here so bear with me if they are incorrect The intranet is hosted in Domain A You log in onto domain A and no login prompt Log into Domain B and the login box appears. If this follows your problem then all you have to do in Domain B via GPO, Local IE settings is add the Intranet as a Local Intranet site If this does not solve the problems then post screenshots

This is sometimes caused by the Enhanced Internet Security in 2003, disable this for Administrators and you should be good to go. To Disable to go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and then Add/Remove Components On 2000 servers you should share the folder correctly rather than use an Admin Share i.e. C$ etc.. You will not be able to add the everyone group nor should you to an admin share

Hello Guys I am currently building an unattended x64 2003 R2 disk to use when building HP BL460c servers, I have successfully done this now with integrated Drivers, Updates but now I want to start removing the mundane jobs we do after the server is built. One of these is to create a 2nd partition (E:\) on the Raid 1 Logical Drive to do this I am using Diskpart to create, label and assign drive letter via a script Example select disk 1 create partition primary size=1000 assign letter=E This works fine and silently but the problem comes when I want to format the drive, I run this cmd: "format E: /q /FS:NTFS /V:Applications" but it always asks if I am sure I want to format the drive. Does anybody know how to make the format occur silently without answering that question? Cheers David
