    Questions For Items Before Install

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    1. i just wonder if it is possible to bring up some questions right before the install, where you can enter things like ip address, computer name and so on

    maybe its possible if dos variables are used for instance %computername% and this is used in winnt.sif then

    but how to start the windows install from DOS then? and this also needs some extra drivers for CDROM under DOS

    2. also i want to move a folder after installation, tried 4nt.exe which has a move but this leaves a window open :}

    3. is it possible to do a auto login without putting the password in clear text to registry?

    i know there would be a way to do it if the password would be just blank but then i have to change it later manualy

    i need only auto login once because installation will continue after the first logon

    or if there is a command to change the password without seeing it in cleartext, would also help me (like the hash in winnt.sif)

    i have to hand out the unattended cd to some guys and i dont want that they can read the password btw. how safe is the encrypted password in winnt.sif ?

    Replacing Driver On Win2003

    aaah thanks

    this here:

    "Delete any referances to the same PCI/VEN as mraid35x.sys (mraid35x.sy_) is also supplied natively by Win2003"
    normaly this shouldnt hurt when i install it or?

    this is different than the existing entry:

    [sourceDisksFiles]

    mraid35x.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,2,0,0

    existing:

    mraid35x.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4
    and this is more or less the same:
    [sCSI.Load]

    mraid35x = mraid35x.sys,4

    [sCSI]

    mraid35x = "DELL PERC 4/Di RAID On Motherboard Driver"

    and this is the important one:

    Copy the mraid35x.sys to the RemoteInstall\Setup\Eng\Images\MyHappyServer\i386 folder.

    so just copy this extracted file to there? normaly it should take then the old packed file or is it so smart that it always takes the unextracted file?

    mraid35x.sys new driver

    mraid35x.sy_ old driver

    i am just asking because it installs now but on the final reboot it fails, i left all old PCI entries in txtsetup.sif and compressed the new mraid35x.sys to mraid35x.sy_ with replacing the existing file

    its really a crap !

    now i tried it with inserting the driverfiles into $oem$\textmode

    then i modified the txtsetup.oem a bit (removed the win2000 section):

    [Config.mraid35x]
    value=parameters\PnpInterface,5, REG_DWORD,1

    put this in winnt.sif

    [MassStorageDrivers]

        "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"

        Mraid35x.sys
        nodev.inf
        Oemsetup.inf
        percraid.cat

    and i fire it up then i get some error d:\...something.... .c can´t remember now, press Enter to continue and it doesn´t recognize the driver and cant find any disc :wacko:

    when i remove the storage sections from winnt.sif i also cannot even add this driver manually with F6 because on the installation it searches the driverfiles on the bloody cdrom and not on the floppy

    and when the storage sections are included on winnt.sif i cannot add a driver with F6

    so any hints on this?

    how did you do it with this LSI logic mraid35x.sys driver?

    - The DetachedProgram entry above is to add more drivers. (Only PART of the process.) You should not need it. If you have a Dell Server, I would only add that which you know you need.

    just wanted to compress the applications a bit, guess have to use a cmd file then

    i tried also adding the driver with dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif but the install is hanging on "registering components" then (12% to go state)

    i saw on my old unattended cd that you can also use the $OEM$\textmode path, do i just place the driver there?

    and i saw this in winnt.sif:

    http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30231&st=20

    [MassStorageDrivers]
       "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)" = "OEM"
       "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)" = "OEM"
       "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"

    [OemBootFiles]
       TXTSETUP.OEM
       nvraid.sys
       nvraid.inf
       nvraidco.dll
       nvraid.cat

    but i have no clue if i need that

    good one ! :thumbup

    now, do you think i need still the custom txtsetup.sif ? Its in fact a Dell server and i think the controller ist not recognized by setup with its PCI Vendor ID ...

    i hope also the mraid35x.sys will be copied right in place with this dosnet.inf file, won´t help me if this happens after recognizing the RAID controller

    i saw here these lines for winnt.sif:

    DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\DP.exe"

    Arguments="-y /q /r:n"

    Is it also to specify here more exe files to unpack?

    hi guys!

    i did a unattended cd with win2003 and winnt.sif file, included some drivers:

    [Data]

    AutoPartition=0

    MsDosInitiated=0

    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

    AutomaticUpdates="No"

    [unattended]

    UnattendMode="FullUnattended"

    OemSkipEula="Yes"

    OemPreinstall="Yes"

    TargetPath="\WINDOWS"

    Repartition="No"

    UnattendSwitch="Yes"

    WaitForReboot="No"

    DriverSigningPolicy="Ignore"

    AutoActivate="No"

    KeyboardLayout="US-International"

    OemPnPDriversPath="install\drv\broadcom\Base_Drivers;install\drv\intel\Base_Drivers;install\drv\rac"

    Unfortunately the raid controller is not detected with the old driver, so i replaced the mraid35x.sy_ file in the i386 folder. I used the makecab command to create the mraid35x.sy_ file out of the new driver file mraid35.sys

    then i edited the txtsetup.inf file and added some pci devices:

    PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_9010 = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_9060 = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0438101E = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04671028 = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11111028 = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_10C6103C = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_10C7103C = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04751028 = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04711028 = "mraid35x"

    PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_014D1028 = "mraid35x"

    when i install from this cd under vmware everything is fine, but this specific controller is not used there.

    Then i installed it on a real server, the controller is detected right then and everything will be installed until the last reboot. But on the start of Windows its loading only about 2-3seconds and does a reboot without asking after this. Not even the Safe Mode is working.

    Any idea why this happens? Or is there a different way to do it?
