trouble

Does someone have a reg edit file to open ports on the sp2 firewall. I need to open ports 12000 tcp 13000 tcp and 15000 udp on about 60 workstations.

try downloading the answer file creation utility from microsoft here Use the file setupmgr.exe from the deployment tools to create your winnt.sif. Now when you create the answere file (winnt.sif) you can choose in the network components section, costom settings, then select internet protocol tcp/ip and press properties, now you can add your ip and sttuff.

try it this way: (replce map names you have, mine are dell drivers) OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\gx240\network;Drivers\gx240\sound;Drivers\gx240\graphics;Drivers\gx260\network;Drivers\gx260\sound;Drivers\gx260\graphics;Drivers\gx270\network;Drivers\gx270\sound;Drivers\gx270\graphics;Drivers\c610\network;Drivers\c610\sound;Drivers\c610\graphics;Drivers\c610\touchpad;Drivers\d600\network;Drivers\d600\sound;Drivers\d600\graphics;Drivers\d600\touchpad"

nope not needed, just delete it.

Every saturday I Format my computer.

It didnt work

We found something on Nlite, add Hibernation=No to winnt.sif We are testing it now, we will reply soon. [unattended] UnattendMode=DefaultHide OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPnPDriversPath="...." DriversigningPolicy=Ignore UnattendSwitch=yes OemSkipEula=Yes Repartition=Yes WaitForReboot=No AutoActivate=Yes Hibernation=No

But tweaks are activated after the first logon. So no use for us

I think it has something to do with hibernate?? But how to turn it off in or befroe the installation??

thats the strange thing it isnt diffrent at all. We made a tuturial our own, so we made a new cd to check out the tutorial, so we rewritten the winnt.sif, exactly the same as the old one. And it worked. But the cd is 40 mb larger then the old 1, so maybe it isnt the winnt.sif. When we find what solved this we will post it.

our deadline is today, plz help

someone knows a solution to this?

nope still black And esc returns the screen to normal, so i can logon.

The bootscreen is working perfectly, I know how to make bootscreens. Im burning the new CD now, so you will hear the result soon.

Ok, some info about our installation didnt use nlite

Hi, We created a unattended install cd, its working almost perfectly. But when the installation is finished and the pc reboots, the screen turns black just before the logon screen. But we can see the mouse pionter. And when we press alt-f4 or esc (dont know wich 1 is triggering this) the screen returns to normal and we can logon normal. But we are making this CD for someone else so we really have to solve this. Please we need some help.

This is not the solution I think, when a new hotfix is been released the autoupdata will just popup again. I got the same problem, it has to be completely silent and it have to be enabled after installation automaticly.

Got a new CD key and your admin pass.

noone has a solution?

Outlook is now working, tnx for all the tips. Only the autoupdates are still not working, they have to be turned on automaticly on the first loggin or before. And I still get the black screen after installation. Does someone has a solutions?

problem nr3. I want to turn on autoupdate, but if I add autoupdate=on in winnt.sif it isnt working.

[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off OEAccess = off

ok, now only the problem with the blackscreen to be solved.

The problem is we have to use Microsoft Outlook, and OEAcces in the winnt.sif files isnt working. The shortcut on the start menu is still there.

So its really impossible to disable Outlook Express from installing on the Windows Setup? Edit: And a lower refresh rate isn't working, it still shows the black screen, only my mouse pointer is still visible.
