ARRGGLL thnx helping a blind man over the street

Hi, is there any easy way to use this utility just for software installation without the user creation?

Im using a Multiboot winxp CD. It contains a few xp unattended installs. The problem is, under win98 or dos you can put a partition batch file to start with no problem. Under XP i dont know how to start such a batch file. I even would use a different disk for automated formatting if there would be a way. All tools under win98 or dos just provide FAT partitioning. I thought there must be a better way to partition the HD , format and then install unattended.

Is there any way to run diskpart with a batch file at boot from CD? Cant figure that out somehow.

May be a dumb question, but i cant seem to find a solution here. How can i start an XP CD Boot with the option to start diskpart? I made several Boot CDs but dont have any idea to do a CD Boot where i can start a batch file with the diskpart command. Any help would be appreciated.

Thnx Dark, that might be it

I have nearly the same svcpack.inf. The Funny thing is, that the hotfixes are not shown as installed software, that i can undesrtand, but when i run Windows Update, it says all the hotfixes are not installed. Is it that MS Update just checks a software entry, or is something wrong with my installation ?! [Version]Signature="$Windows NT$" [setupData]CatalogSubDir="i386\Update" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] [setupHotfixesToRun]Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:NJS56NDE.exe /Q:A /R:NKB823182.exe /Q /N /Z /OKB824105.exe /Q /N /Z /OKB824141.exe /Q /N /Z /OKB825119.exe /Q /N /Z /OKB826939.exe /Q /N /Z /OKB828028.exe /Q /N /Z /OKB828035.exe /Q /N /Z /OQ832894.exe /Q:A /R:Nqchain.exeQ828026.exe /Q /N /Z /O

Is it possible to create a user and use that User in the winnt.sif instead of admin for autologon the first time ?

Change the Path to "Programm Files" at the 12 min Mark when installing wit a regpatch. The D Partition has to be formatted for that though, otherwise you get an error.

Heyas, just take this line: j2re-1_4_2_01-windows-i586.exe /s /v"/qn and it does an complete install

You can use these lines in a batch file ECHO Add Admin User SET /P user1=Name: SET /P pwd1=Passwort: net user \"%user1%\" %pwd1% /add net localgroup Administratoren \"%user1%\" /add ECHO Add User SET /P user1=Name: net user \"%user1%\" /add

Where did you find the downloadable PDF ? I searched for it, but i must be blind

Heyas, i made a Unattended Multiboot and everything was ok. NOw i wanted to optimize and added Hotfixes to svcpack.inf, started installing programms from cmdlines.txt etc. I have 2 different PC Configurations on my CD. MR and MR2. When i install with MR2 it automatically logs on to windows. If i install with the MR Configuration it prompts for password for admin user, no autologon. I use Diskemu to choose which configuration should be installed. I will post the winnt.sif Files here, maybe someone sees the mistake. I see none......

Good Point Bilou, it was from "whimsy"!

Jeppers, thats what i experienced and thought....i still hope theres an solution. The creating of the users at unattended installation is working fine, as long as you dont copy files to a profilename.... I did the workaround like you mentioned with the all users profile, but i want the perfect solution if there is one Thnx for the suggestions though

Hi, im running an unattended Installation of XP. I use a batch file creator that is run from the runonce section in winnt.sif to choose what installations i want to have. I have Installations in there where i copy .lnk Links to a users desktop. I create users with the "net" command. After logging in, i have two nearly simmilar users in "Documents and Settings". One named "airmr" where the links are copied to the desktop folder and one called "airmr.MR" created when i log in the first time. Where "MR" is the name of the workgroup. First thing is: Why doesnt XP take the User Profile that is there with the login name at first login?! Is there any way to get the Links into the User Profiles desktop Folder with runonce section in winnt.sif and after logging in the user for the first time use that profile?!

Anyone remembers the XP Post Installer from a guy that posted it here? It was with .hta files. Dunno the name right now, sorry. You could select in boxes which programm etc. to install. You could give 1, 2 or 500 lines per installation in there. The only bad thing is, that you have to touch 5 Files and change them if you want to add a new installation. I modified it to get a Regtweak selection. So i get a box like the WAI and can check the boxes of what regtweak and what programm i want to have installed. Theres a "default" marker and an "All" marker for quick selections. I use this as Unattended installation from GUIRUNONCE Section because you can give it an autoinstall timer. I also build a CD with all Installations i may need and just have to put in the CD and check the Programms/Regtweaks i want to have installed and it installs from CD. It produces a batch file as output, that has to be run. I may have a look where the original thread of that guy is if i have the time. Check that out.

No didnt try that. There must be a way to accomplish that through css. I think ive seen it somewhere, but cant remember where.

You can change all the values with Registry settings. I did that at work with W2K it works perfectly. I am at work again at 28th of march, i got holidays unfortunately i can post the settings then.

French just ignore language barriers........

Thnx a lot
