I reloaded again last night and tried it again and it was the same result. The actual load of W2K3 Server STD goes fine but when I log in first time it prompts for the second disc. My load is all on one CD not DVD. Also I checked the registry after the fresh load and I see the runonceex and the runonceex10 keys and they have the same info as the runonceex batch file. The cd is still in the drive btw. I am thinking of trying to robocopy the cmpnents folder and then running a batch off of that. I just need to know what is bringing up the prompt for the second disc.

JuMz,
No go. I am thinking back to beginning of this thread that I need to suppress the request for the second CD. Could the Autorun.inf be casuing and issue. When i copied it over I didn't overwrite the file from disc 1.
[AutoRun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0
Should it be the one off of the second disc? BTW I tried running just the RunOnceEx.cmd off of the desktop after it was loaded and it did not work.
OK, should I put the exit in the RunonceEx or just leave it as is?Just leave it as it is. You don't need any 'EXIT' anywhere. The window will automatically close and exit once it executes everything under [COMMANDS]. By having EXIT in batch.cmd, it forced the command window to close BEFORE executing RunOnceEx.cmd

OK, should I put the exit in the RunonceEx or just leave it as is? And yes the file is cmdlines.txt...
I attached screenshot or $oem$ also.
Hm, I think I just saw something that may fix this...REMOVE the EXIT at the end of batch.cmd

JuMz,
Thanks for the response, but unfortunately it did not work. I still think it may be the way i had the batch files set up. My File structure on CD winnt.sif, cmdlines.txt, batch.cmd and RunOnceEx.cmd file below. My install works perfectly. there are no errors but when I log in the first time it is requesting the second disc. I need to stop that from running on startup and i think i can set up the batch then. BTW I am using a W2k3 Volume disc that SP2 already integrated.

Inside your $OEM$ folder (which should be on the root of the CD) you should have a file called CMDLINES.txt. In this file, you should have at least the following:[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"You should also keep the RunOnceEx.cmd in this folder.

JuMz,
I tried using your method and it didn't work. I believe I may have placed the RunOnceEx.cmd in the wrong place or it may be that I also use a batch job in front of the RunonceEx. Could you go into a little more detail as to how you do yours?
I have this successfully working. If you look in the R2 disk, there is a ref.chm (or something) that describes how you have to do it. I use a RunOnceEx method...@ECHO OFF

So would i create a slipstream install and the just slipstream each individual update one by one until they are done? Then once burned to a disc it will have full install?

I checked through the forums and couldn't find any information on Slipstreaming Small Business Server with SP1 complete, i.e exchange, etc..
I was told that it couldn't be done because of the components within SBS.
Is this true?

Hello all. Long time lurker first time poster. First I would like to thank all of the contributers and posters for all of the information I have leanred from this forum...ok enough butt kissing.
I am setting up a special unattended install where I need to have W2k w/SP2 Microsoft Virtual Machine 3805 and 3810, Q816093 amd media player 9.
I used the instructions off of the unattended.msfn.org site.
Trouble I am having is when the unattend gets to Media Player 9 it stops and needs user interaction, clicking next etc...

Thanks. Apologies if it is a dumb question.

regisry tweak don´t work
in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

Would you know if these are affected by OS:
;Show protected operating system files
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder
\SuperHidden]
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001
;Show Hidden Files and Folders
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Hidden"=dword:00000000
; show file extensions in explorer
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000
I have been trying to get the above to work in my reg file but they don't seem to stick. I ran the above as just a reg file on the desktop and only the show protected system files was affected. I want to be able to see all files when the system boots. Am I doing something wrong with the above entries or can it only be done after OS setup?
