my UFD install of WinPE does this, remove your cd or ufd and then reboot, installation will continue.

Hi peeps! need a hand here i am starting to lose my mind i have created a custome winpe disk that install from a dist share, does everything i want it too no worries. my problem is that after i have installed onto a machine and then resealed the install the OS is not picking up the sysprep.inf file to automate part of the minisetup after reseal. i know the sysprep folder is deleted after reseal, but surely it should read the sysprep.inf first? my sysprep is installed at $OEM$\$1\Sysprep any advice greatley appreciated! rick.

thanks guys!! its all working now!

hi, it looks exactly like this: ..........oh please dont tell its just the stupid inverted commas?

hi guys! i have a winnt.sif that i use to make my life easier installing the multitude of W2k and W2k3 servers for work, its works perfectly apart from the [GuiRunOnce] section that has only one line. the line is: %systemdrive%\HP_Proliant\bp000232.cmd i use this to install the Proliant Support Pack silently, this is the batch script that comes with the support pack; written by HP. i have watched the install and the batch script runs but does not install the PSP... i then have to go and manually run the bp000232.cmd script and then the install will work. any ideas? cheers, rick.

yup its in there, in big bold writing you'd think it would be more prominent on the web ah well problem solved

hmmm.... think i may have found the answer... got this off technet: Example [LicenseFilePrintData] AutoUsers = 10 Comments This entry is valid only if you also include the entry AutoMode = PerServer. Notes You must specify a number greater than 5, otherwise Setup prompts the user to pick a value through the user interface. how annoying is that?????? i will set it too 6 in the winnt.sif and see how we go

hey guys! long time reader, first post i have recently created an unattended install that works perfectly except for the licensing. i am stillpromted to choose between per-seat or per-server even though i have specified in the winnt.sif. this is for 2000sp4. here is my winnt.sif: please help this is driving me insane! regards, rick.
