NTUpgrade or OEMPreinstall?


Recommended Posts

I am having an issue with upgrading our win2k machines to winxp using a distrbution point on a test server we have here.

it is my understanding that to upgrade an NT machine using the unattended install setup with an unattended.txt file (using the unattended.bat to start the upgrade), you need to use the NTUpgrade switch, however, if you want to install new drivers, you need to use the OEMPreinstall switch, which effectively nullifies the NTUpgrade switch. I want to be able to upgrade, as well as install new drivers.

So, is it possible to upgrade the Win2k machines but also be able to utilize the PnPDrivers directory in the distribution point? I want to be able to do this so all future machines can be have the necessary upgraded drivers, but I do not want to do clean installs on these machines, I simply want to upgrade to XP.

Is this possible?
