Hi all - this is my first post and i'm very new at creating unattended installs, so be patient! i have a small office network of 5 machines - 4 using xp pro, 1 using win 2k as a file server. i'm wondering if it is possible to create 1 unattended cd that would install on the 4 xp machines - using 4 different xp keys and having different configurations? ie computer 1 will have name Computer1 and use key 1, install software x,y,z computer 2 will have name Computer2 and use key 2, install software x, y, a, b, c etc is this possible from cd only? from the research i have done it looks like this would be doable with a configuration disk - 1 for each machine or over a network install any thoughts / suggestions? appreciate a turn in the right direction! thanks J
