CuBie Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hi all, is it possible to install windows xp or windows 2003 server over smb shares or mapped dives from a pe cd?So for example i would put windows xp files on my server and share them and then install from PE on the pc?If so this would make installations alot faster, as its going over the 11mbit network, and dosent have to read from a cd rom drive!Thanks alot,Chris.

mbouchard Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Yes, where I work we do most of our installs over the network. About the only thing that i have on our PE CD's is a HTA file that asks for username/Password and then maps a drive to the network which then launches another HTA page that prompts for some setup info. The i386 folder is xcopied to the HD and then the setup is launched. If you want to see how I do this, I have uploaded a zip file in another thread that contains the files that I use.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
