baal32 Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Trying to run an unattended install of XP Pro from a network shareThe textmode portion runs fine, but none of the GUI portion is getting pulled (as soon as the GUI comes up I have to enter EULA, Org name, etc.)What's happening with the unattend.txt? It seems to get lost in the reboot between the text and GUI portionsThe share is \\server\winxp in which is the i386 folder, the unattend.bat and the unattend.txtI had to manually change the setupmgr generated unattend.bat from using winnt32 to winnt - could ths be causing any problems?The unattend.bat:@rem SetupMgrTag@echo offremrem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by Setup Manager.rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may have to be modified.remset AnswerFile=g:\unattend.txtset SetupFiles=g:\I386smartdrvg:\I386\winnt /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile%The unattend.txt:;SetupMgrTag[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=4 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="XXXXX XXXXX" OrgName="XXXXX" ComputerName=XXXXXXXX[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes
peachy Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 I would change it back to this:set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txtset SetupFiles=\\server\winxpsmartdrv\\server\winxp\I386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile%That's what I use for mine and it installs completely unattended, except that I also renamed my unattend.txt to winnt.sif.
