..::BFS::.. Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Hi,I've got my unattended finished so far that I can make a final now, there's just one more thing to do and that's the following.During the install I want to add the computername manual but if I leave 'Computername=' empy it gives an error in the install. If it's possible the computername is the only thing that should be editted. Does someone knows how to realise this?
WwTIPPYwW Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 maybe you can find it in the registry and just modify it as part of install?or use the SIF file (is that it?) from a floppy and you edit it before installation. I think there are some instructions for installing XP from cd, with the file on a floppy.

But how?
WwTIPPYwW Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 you can add it to the WINNT.sif before install, if on floppy. Which would sort of be on the fly. Otherwise, you might just have to do it post install. What if instead of leaving the 'Computername=' empty, you removed it?Maybe some help here - http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/reference.htm
Denney Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Make sure in your unattended file, you have UnattendMode="DefaultHide" and not "FullUnattended".
..::BFS::.. Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 Make sure in your unattended file, you have UnattendMode="DefaultHide" and not "FullUnattended".If I change this, should I use 'Computername=' or should I remove 'Computername' from the winnt.sif?
Denney Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Remove ComputerName from winnt.sif... you not going to set it to anything anyway.
prathapml Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 If you want to set the computername and more things after install, or at T-13 stage (thru cmdlines.txt) read on......Download and save the change.vbs (attached to this post).Then, put that file to where you want and call the VBS file (start /wait ....) during T-13. Enjoy!change.vbs
