The sysrep/ method will not funktion because of so manz different workstations. I try to explain what I wanted zpu to saz in mz last posting perhaps you will understand: We have here many different worstations with different hardware so we start the unattended installation with the winnt.exe and the option /s -> gives the unattended installation the source folder and /u -> for the unattended.txt folder. We need to start the installation this way. Now my question is if you know how to start the unattended installation correctly for win xp. With windows 2000 it was so: winnt /s:sorcefolder /u:unattended-file-folder but this doen=s realllz funktion under win xp.
