after removing the destribution folder and recreating it the problem was resolved however in te udf file it would not detect OemPnPDriversPath which was strange.

sorry i forgot to remove the productid number, when im in the command prompt i tried the following: winnt32 /s:u:\win2000dist /unattend:hwgs.txt /udf:R27W18,U:\win2000dist\hwgs.udf winnt32 /s:u:\win2000dist /unattend:hwgs.txt /udf:R27W18,hwgs.udf on both instances the same error appears.

i keep getting windows errors when launching my unattend script via the network "The specified Setup script file (c:\windows\winnt32\hwgs.txt) is inaccessible or invalid'?

Hello everyone, I am new to the MSFN discussion board i ahve worked in IT for 2 and a half years within a school i am currently planning and testing a windows 2000 deployment on approximately 150 computers. I have confusion on the cmdlines.txt file i dont know what purpose it could fulfill. I understand that it runs before the GUI of win2k, any details is greatly appreciated.
