nokia999i Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 what is the : "Offline Image Location:" for? is it needed ? wht do I put in it or do I leave it as IS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobby Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) what is the : "Offline Image Location:" for? is it needed ? wht do I put in it or do I leave it as IS ?I think it's for the WAIK to figure out which image source was used so it can reload the correct catalog (I could be wrong though). Not sure why it's been put in this script generator.On a separate note, the script generates components with processorArchitecture="i386" but shouldn't it be x86? This is what WAIK generates anyway.

neon068 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 add languages Portuguese.Added support for both Portuguese Brazil and Portuguese Portugalwhat is the : "Offline Image Location:" for? is it needed ? wht do I put in it or do I leave it as IS ?I think it's for the WAIK to figure out which image source was used so it can reload the correct catalog (I could be wrong though). Not sure why it's been put in this script generator.On a separate note, the script generates components with processorArchitecture="i386" but shouldn't it be x86? This is what WAIK generates anyway.I always used the WIM file from the Vista CD and put it in the sysprep folder if setup needed extra drivers/files. Also, even though i386 worked, x86 is the proper syntax and is now corrected. Thanks NeoN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 So, the Offline Image Locater field should be tailored based upon the version we are installing, then? Seeing as I am using Ultimate, I should make that ULTIMATE instead of ENTERPRISE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as I am using Ultimate, I should make that ULTIMATE instead of ENTERPRISE?Yes that's correct. I'll add something there to make it easier to choose each different version.NeoN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn3ak Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) One should point out that it probably isn't a smart idea to put a valid product key in this site. While Neon may have the best intentions, the information is unencrypted, and without seeing the source, Neon could be recording them.While I am guessing he is a great guy, and isn't, the unencrypted part is a problem that can not be dealt with, unless neon sets up a https site.It would probably be smart to use a key of "abc12" in each field or some such, then when you save his xml file use a text editor to change it to a valid key.Edit: No offense or anything intended..

MUAHHHHHHAHAHAHA Just kidding, but you do have a good point with the whole unencrypted part. So if you are worried about security, just put in all 1's and then just change it in the actual XML.

sirpedrosa Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hey everyone!I've created a script where you enter in a little information and it creates the XML file for you. It's definitely a work in progress and it could use many more options but this will work fine for a unattended Vista installation. I plan to eventually get all of the different passes and components able to be customized on there.http://dc412.org/unattend.phpLet me know what you think, and what could be done to make it better!NeoNhi everybodyone more thing i would to see in this post about domain join is to choose a distict organization unit in domain.(its one more text box - i think!)best regards (on response reply to my sirpedrosa@gmail.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbrooksie Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 How can I set up the XML file so that it stops and prompts the user for info? I want it to ask for computer name and product key and join domain\workgroup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoguns Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Very nice tool indeed, would appreciate if you could add support to change input languages/locale/keyboard layout etc though, it's the only one thing I can't seem to get right in my unattend!
