lki_dk Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi,i am new to the unattended installations.My situation is that i need to create unattended installations of Windows XP (32bit) for a lot of ships.Each ship have between 5 and 10 computers onboard. All PC's are in a workgroup that is named by the ships nameEach PC have a fixed name, related to their location/usage on the ship.My question is now, is it possible to create an unattended installation that will prompt the user to select workgroupname and computername from drop-down lists ?It is not an option for me to have the users to type anything in manually (previous experience tells me that there will always be mistakes)Please note that there are no internet connection available on the ships, so all installation will have to be done "offline".Hope that someone can help me out on this. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methanoid Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'd also be interested in ideas as to how to make the OPs idea work. I install 5 machines, want to name each at the start of the install and install different apps depending on the name (ie DESKTOP1, DESKTOP2, DESKTOP3 get same apps but LAPTOP1 and LAPTOP2 get different apps from the DESKTOPs)Is there a way? Or must it be done at the end of the install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 You could run an app during runonce that gave the drop downs to select computer name and workgroup and then make the needed changes to the registry and reboot.Same kind of thing could be done with applications.
