November 16, 200421 yr How can I insert cd key in an original bootable Win2003 CD ? I don't want to be asked for it everytime I install the OS. How can I do that?THX
November 16, 200421 yr You can use Setupmgr.exe in the Deployment tools, deploy.cab, to create an unattended answer file called WINNT.SIF.Copy the WINNT.SIF to a floppy disk and use it when you start your server build.In the [userData] section of the WINNT.SIF add a line that says:ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxReplacing the x's with your product key.
November 16, 200421 yr Author ok, i have created the winnt.sif. what should i do next. during the process a part of the i386 folder has been copied from the cd in the destination directory windist
November 16, 200421 yr Copy it to a floppy disk, insert the floppy as your CD starts to load:Setup is inspecting your computer....You can remove the floppy at the first reboot during the build process.
November 17, 200421 yr Author ok, done...and what about file unattened.bat and the i386 directory that has been copied on the hdd. should I erase them?
