jben Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi everyone, I've recently been working with automating PC installation with Windows 2000. I have implemented everything but am currently using a floppy with my winnt.sif file. The reason for this is because all the PCs have the same installation but their computer name and full name are different,hence the reason for using a floppy.Is there any way to set something up that will check the motherboard of the PC and call the correct winnt.sif file.Basically its like this:motherboard 1345motherboard 3543motherboard 7766and if its 7766 then it will run winnt.sif file that contains Computer 7766. Anyone have any ideas?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj-kaiser Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Build a WinPE image from the Vista SP1 AIK and use the script language of your choice, like VBScript or AutoIt to query WMI. There are some WMI classes that hold information you can use, Win32_ComputerSystem, Win32_ComputerSystemProduct and Win32_Baseboard (not neccessarily correctly written, but its something like those 3). MS has a tool that helps you build WMI queries, its called Scriptomatic, on the AutoIt forum there exists a Scriptomatic for AutoIt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
