Unattend.txt Networking

[cleep]

Hi. Have had a look through the posts but could not find the answer, so.....

My unattended installation works fine but my client has asked for a change, he would like a DHCP Class set at build time - this is because he wants the new XP clients to collect their DHCP settings from the new AD environment.

Anyway, my initial entry looked like this:

[Networking]

InstallDefaultComponents = Yes

I thought it would be as easy as adding this:

[MS_TCPIP parameters]

DHCPClassId = classname

But the setup is complaining about this last entry.

Any ideas welcome

This should do it - i think

[Networking]

InstallDefaultComponents=No

[NetAdapters]

Adapter1=params.Adapter1

[params.Adapter1]

INFID=*

[NetClients]

MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient

[NetServices]

MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER

[NetProtocols]

MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP

[params.MS_TCPIP]

DNS=Yes

UseDomainNameDevolution=No

EnableLMHosts=Yes

AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]

SpecificTo=Adapter1

DHCP=Yes

WINS=No

NetBIOSOptions=0

DHCPClassId=xxxxxxx

He shots, he scores. This worked a treat.

If your interested, I am using class ID to seperate the current DHCP service, which is NT based, for all the new clients that will be running XP and an active directory infrastructure.
