Batch file help for Windows 2003 Unattend

[frmurrw]

I am currently using an unattend process using the old method of batch files. This process is working very well for me so I don't want to change to one of the newer methods that are listed. The current process has a total of 6 batch files, one is called by cmdlines.txt and the remainder are part of the [GuiRunOnce]. Batch files as follows:

[cmdlines.txt]

0PreGui.bat

[GuiRunOnce]

1applications.cmd

2main_batch.cmd

3additionalsettings.cmd

4cleanup.cmd

delete.bat

This works great but when changes are required I must update 7 different server builds. So what I did was created a folder structure for each network. Placed all network specific settings into appropriate subfolder. I then created a menu batch file called 3networksettings.bat and replaced 3additionalsettings.cmd in the GuiRunOnce.

During the unattended installation it brings up 3networksettings.bat but when I select the approprite network it says n1.bat is unrecognized. All other options state the same error. I can run the batch (3networksetting.bat) without issue outside of the unattend process. When I quit 3networksettings.bat via menu choice 8 it moves to the next file in the [GuiRunOnce]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Try using

CALL n1.bat

Also please try to use CMD extensions for scripts intended for use with the Windows NT command interpreter.
