Hi, Fairly new to trying out an unattended install and it's a bit of a learning curve for me. I'm following the information from the Microsoft Desktop Deployment Resource Kit by Jerry Honeycutt. I'm trying to set up an unattended install from a network distribution point onto a Fujitsu Siemans PC. I have a Bart boot up cdrom which is detecting the network card ok and I can map drives to the distribution point from pc. However the fun comes when I start the install of XP. I have made an initial stab at compiling a winnt.sif file, I have also added the $oem$ with the drivers directory below it for the Fujitsu OEM setup. What I need advise on is how to troubleshoot the install. The issues I'm getting are: (1) The pc does not auto reboot after the test mode part of the install - ie files get get copied to hard disk, but system does not automatically reboot to continue install. If I reboot pc then the install does continue on to the next stage. (2) I'm not getting all the correct drives loaded after install completes. This includes the Ethernet drivers for which I made a point of copying drivers into $oem$/Drivers/LAN prior to the install. I obviously need to recheck the inf files in the drives section should I load the inf files to $oem$/Drivers rather than $oem$/Drivers/LAN ? With regards to the other drivers I need a bit of advise on tracking down the correct drivers, The Deployment Resource Kit mentions mentions making a note of the devices not working and if necessary looking at the registry to find each Plug and Play ID for the devices concerned. Well, what and where in the registry can I find this information. All help gratefully received !
