Improving my Winnt.sif file (opinions needed)

[RichTJ99]

Hi all,

While my unattended install cd seems to work ok, I was hoping for some pointers to make it better. Please let me know if something is missing that is important, or something is there that doesnt make sense.

I am using a start.cmd file but I plan to try out the Runonceex method shortly.

it looks ok, we cant really tell u what u can do with it, unless u tell us what your wanting 2 do, goto http://unattended.msfn.org & download the deployment pack for sp1 & look in ref.chm

good luck

As for making your cd better, you could buy a dvd burner and make a unattended DVD .

Don't forget that the winnt.sif isn't the only option of making your cd better. There are different things you can do to modify it which can for you, make the cd better. My advice, think about what you want your cd to be able to do and then read a lot of threads.

I am using a standard unattend file for windows XP Winnt.sif and I wont to automatically give it the answers for the last gui screen the one with the user if information on it. For example: "the list of users & password"

It works fine.
