Quark Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I've recently started experimenting with slipstreaming and unattended setups (to specify defaults values), but I've run into several small problems that I haven't been able to fix yet.Can anyone give me a hand with (any of) these?- I don't want a randomized ComputerName, I want the default field to be blank, but the ComputerName="" seems to be ignored.- The TimeZone I specified (110; GMT+1, Amsterdam) is ignored, the default +8 is still selected.- I want to use UnattendMode=ProvideDefault, but it's not working as I expected. I don't get to see the dialogs/fields with the answers I specified, but the installer skips those windows entirely. Like a real unattended setup (apart from the quirks mentioned above).- The "Welcome to Microsoft Windows" still starts and asks me if I want to protect the pc by enabling Automatic Updates, but I already specified AutomaticUpdates=1The other things, like checking for internet connection and registration must be skipped too.The creation of Users must not be skipped though.- My CMDLINES.TXT isn't started after the setup. And I have no idea why. The .bat and .reg files were copied to %windir% though.CMDLINES.TXT is on the cd in \$OEM$This is my winnt.sif :;SetupMgrTag[Data] MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=1[Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemPreinstall=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS WaitForReboot=No[GuiUnattended] TimeZone=110 EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 OEMSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx FullName="" OrgName="Home" ComputerName=""[Display] BitsPerPel=16 Xresolution=800 YResolution=600 Vrefresh=85[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000413 UserLocale=00000413 InputLocale=0409:00000409[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[URL] Home_Page=about:blank[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No[NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1[params.Adapter1] INFID=*[NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient[NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER[NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP[params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=1My CMDLINES.TXT:[Commands]"%windir%\source.bat""regedit.exe /s %windir%\tweaks.reg""%windir%\tweaks.bat""del %windir%\source.bat""del %windir%\source.reg""del %windir%\tweaks.reg""del %windir%\tweaks.bat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visaversa Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 For the first item try to use wihu.exe, it does all that + moreAs for the second question.Variables aren’t supported in the CMDLINES.TXT... That’s why everyone calls batch file from it...You should use relative calling (instead of hard path) like ".\windows\name.bat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to test it later.WIHU won't run on both of my XP machines here (1 SP1 and 1 SP2), it crashes and xp wants to send a report.. I have no idea what's the problem.

Quark Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Ok I will, but do you (or anyone else) know the answer to the other problems?Like the TimeZone=110 and that annoying "Welcome to Microsoft Windows" nonsense screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
