Win2000 Unattend installation from WinPE v2.0

[markbb]

Has anyone tried to install Window 2000 Server or Advance Server with WINNT32 using UNATTNED.TXT

I have added the ProductID key to the registry so that it now stops saying the it doesn't recognize the version.

But now it always says that you cannot upgrade 2000 Professional to Server or Advanced Server.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have both Standard and Advanced Server 2000 working on WinPE2.

Post your unattended.txt file you are using. (make sure to remove any keys)

Also post your command line for winnt32.exe

This is the command line I have been using for WINNT32,

winnt32 /s:c:\I386 /syspart:c /tempdrive:c /unattend:unattend.txt /noreboot

I used to use WINNT, so I imagine you are right in think that there is something in the old UNATTEND.TXT that is causing this.

Thanks again for your help.

Found it,

Was the line

NtUpgrade = yes

Changed this to no and all is working.

Thanks for the quick response and give me the idea to look in the UNATTEND.TXT file.

No problem. Sometimes we all need a little nudge in the right direction.
