This cmd file could be modified to perform driver installations depending on your hardware. I've only had a chance to test this on 2 different machines & it worked fine. Please test this on your systems & let me know what kind of results you get. Requires DEVCON.EXE in your path.
Obtain devcon.exe here:

Put wget.exe and unzip.exe in $oem$\$$\system32 and download a zipped structure from the SUS Server (which is an IIS that allows anonymous access using http). A SUS Server is present in most corporate networks anyway.
I initially was using wget & decided to see how else I could do what I wanted, not sure which I'll use yet to be honest, I'm still testing

Here's another way to download application/update "packages" over your network using an ftp server. I prefer this method as I can just update the files on the ftp server if I ever want anything on my unattended cd to change. Saves time on burning cds. Unlike my wget post this one doesn't require any extra files other than unrar.exe in your path. Let me know if you use this, I will write a full tutorial if enough people are interested.
What it does:
1. Creates necessary directories.
2. Creates ftp_cmd.txt
3. Runs ftp.exe against ftp_cmd.txt to download packages.
4. Extracts downloaded packages.
5. Deletes compressed files & installs packages.

You can also script ftp.exe to download your packages from a ftp server.
Put this file in $OEM$\$$\system32
ftp_cmd.txt
open 192.168.1.25
username
password
lcd c:\install
prom
get apps.cmd
get updates.cmd
get cleanup.cmd
bin
cd unattend
cd apps
mget *.rar
cd ../updates
mget *.rar
byeThen just run this command when you want to d/l the packages:
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\windows\system32\ftp.exe -s:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\windows\system32\ftp_cmd.txt
Or you could just add the following to your batch file:
ECHO open 192.168.1.25 >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO username >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO password >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO lcd c:\install >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO bin >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO prom >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO get apps.cmd >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO get updates.cmd >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO get cleanup.cmd >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO cd unattend >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO cd apps >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO mget *.rar >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO cd ../updates >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO mget *.rar >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt
ECHO bye >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\ftp_cmd.txt

I will never understand why people use this thing... notepad with terminal size 9 works fine for me.

thanks edg21 I'm working on an install using this method right now. I'm modifying it for ftp use though as I don't want to install and configure a webserver. I was looking into doing a distribution share but I wasn't exactly sure how to do it using my gentoo/samba machine. When I would attempt to create the distribution share setupmanager would say that it couldn't enable the share. This so far with my limited tests seems like it will work. Thanks.
Glad to hear that it works for you, I'm in the process of writing a more detailed tutorial right now... the big question is wether or not I ever finish it

In my unattended CD I have spybot S&D install & schedule it to scan every 5 days. I want to be able to determine if a certain process is running & act accordingly. My problem is this... I have several computers that cannot be interrupted (scan would cause them to fail) while a certain process is running. I want a batch file to check for a certain process.. if it see's it I would like to remove & reschedule the scan. If it is not running I would like it to run the already scheduled task. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

sorry for askin another question, but I notice you delete shortcuts from the desktop after every install, couldnt you just delete all *.lnk from the desktop at the end? If you dont use runonceex except to run start.cmd, you shouldnt have any .lnk files on your desktop on boot...just a thought.
I could do that, but I like to be selective. What if I want some of those icons? I could definately clean it up using %PROGRAMFILES% and such, but I'm a lil tired

this is great, but there is one error...url_list has 2 extensions in your example, the wget code uses .txt and the file on the server uses .cmd...I think the file on the server is supposed to be url_list.txt according to wget.
Gotcha! fixed.

You can use this to download & install your hotfixes & applications via a Web/FTP server. My Unattended CD pulls "packages" off my intranet server and then installs them. This means I only have to make one CD. If I need to change something, I just change the files on the web server. This takes some knowledge of how the unattended install process works. Sorry for not going into detail. My unattended cd logs in as administrator once, runs start.cmd & then reboots to the login screen. Keep in mind this is just what I did with it. I'm sure everyone can come up with some ideas of their own.
This setup installs the following:
Alcohol 120 v1.9.2.1705 retail multi-language
WinRAR v3.30 corporate edition
WGET v1.9beta w/ssl support
Nero v6.3.1.15 ultra edition
mIRC v6.16 incl dccassist 1.72
UltraVNC Viewer
Putty v0.55
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack
Adobe Acrobat Reader v6.01 Full
Azureus v2.1.0.4
SecureCRT v4.1.0.205
Total Commander v6.01
SiSoft Sandra v2004 10.9.89 Retail
Trillian Pro v2.013
SpyBot Search & Destroy v1.3 (also schedules silent scans every 5 days)
These are the files in my $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32 folder:
start.cmd
sleep.exe
vncviewer.exe
putty.exe
shortcut.exe
unrar.exe
ssleay32.dll
libeay32.dll
wget.exe
This file will download the list of packages from the webserver & then run wget against the list of URLS to d/l the RARs & CMD files.
$OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32\START.CMD

@echo off
echo Downloading Packages...
md %systemdrive%\install
wget -P%systemdrive%\install\ http://bender/unattend/url_list.txt
wget -P%systemdrive%\install\ -i%systemdrive%\install\url_list.txt
%systemdrive%\install\apps.cmdNow setup a web server (you can use an ftp server but you will need to alter the batch files)
The webserver needs the to have the following directories:
/unattend/ - Put the cmd & url_list files here.
/unattend/apps - Put your application rars here.
/unattend/updates - Put your hotfixes here.
/unattend/tweaks - Put your reg hacks here.
Now you need to put the following files in their corresponding directories on the web server.

Desktop X does some pretty neat looking stuff, but I personally use samurize. I just converted my g/f from desktopx to samurize... it took her awhile to get used to but she likes it better now.

I would like for my users to browse an intranet site & click an install link. I want it to then install the associated application. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this? Currently I'm using ZeroG Install Anywhere & it works great, but I'm looking for something different that doesn't require Java. I've been told I can do what I want using InstallShield, but there are going to be lots of applications, so I need something low maintenance. I would also like to know how to make applications install when needed.
EXAMPLE:
user clicks .PDF file & Adobe Reader isn't installed. I would like windows to automatically install Adobe Reader via the Intranet site.
Suggestions anyone?

Doesn't the $OEM$ folder get placed in the root of the distribution source when using a CD?
I've tried it as a sub folder of i386, but it just doesn't work.
Yes, you place it in the root of the cd.

IE culmulative patch patches browser vulnerabilities which you are still vulnerable to. Yes, it would be a good idea to update windows. No, you do not HAVE to update anything, but you're just asking for it if you don't.

Well I've got an ATI AIW 7500 and the WDM drivers are a pain to get installed correctly sometimes. Thought you might not have em installed.... or maybe you should try to re-install em.

That would be great.
