winnt.sif CD for 3 machines

[Tinywoods]

Dear all who informed me much useful information,

Thank you very much !

I succeeded in Multiple winnt.sif installation.

I made a DVD with three winnt.sif for my PC and one default winnt.sif . Now it works!

I refer to the "Multiple OS Boot Options" in the “Creating a multi-Boot DVD” site.

I have a similar problem. The Multiboot will not work for me. I am dealing with hundres of machines but imaging has taken it's toll. The company wants to have fresh loads for each machine now. So, I've made an automated build all the way to the end. the problem is, we are trying to avoid floppies and burning a CD/DVD for each machine is out of the question. What are my other options?

Can the winnt.sif be located on a USB key drive?

I have but the search brings up nothing relavent about the winnt.sif and a usb key. How, as far as the machines there is nothing but multiboots and multiple sifs. That does me no good.

Or you can try absolutely different approach -

I am using three files - unattend.txt, computer.txt and script.

In computer.txt I got PC name with MAC address - the script is automatically determining PC name from this file and then modify the unattend.txt, so PC is installed using the final PC name.

With this approach you can make much more things - for example (I made it few time) divide computer names by department and install different software everywhere.

digitalsr2, you havent described what you'd like to do. If you simply want to specify the computername and network settings for each PC then the UDF file method mentioned near the start of this thread will do what you need with 1 winnt.sif, 1 .udf file, and 1 UA CD or network install source.

Search for "winnt32 udf" for more info.
