I cant believe someone else hasnt asked this before, but I search for 'static IP' and came up with nothing...

How does one assign a static IP and network info to a PC UA style?

Thanks!

You can easily do this in your winnt.sif - read the helpfile ref.chm

You should be able to configure it as a part of the WINNT.SIF file. I'm not at all familiar with this particular portion of the file, but here is my best-guess effort at how to set it up. I make no guarantees that this will work.

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=No

[NetAdapters]
    Adapter1=params.Adapter1

[params.Adapter1]
    INFID=*

[NetProtocols]
    MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP

[params.MS_TCPIP]
AdapterSections = params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1


[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]
    SpecificTo=Adapter1
    DHCP=No
    IPAddress = 1.1.1.1
    SubnetMask = 255.255.248.0
    DefaultGateway = 2.2.2.2
    DNSServerSearchOrder = 193.1.1.3,193.1.1.44
    WINS = No

Of course, this code isn't meant to be used as-is, but substitute in the values you want for the dummy IPs that are listed and it should set you up with a nice, shiny static IP.

"Easy" is relative. I pieced together the above code from the helpfile combined with astalavista's sif that he has posted in another thread. I figure I'm doing well to understand about 1 line in 3.

In winnt.sif under [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]

   DHCP=No
    IPAddress=<enter IP here>
    SubnetMask=<enter subnet here>

Sweet... didnt even think to look there.

Thanks as always gentlemen.

What about dns servers?

Or is that what DNSServerSearchOrder is?

I tried it here but for some reason if thats it, its not setting it correctly.

What about dns servers?

  DNSServerSearchOrder = 193.1.1.3,193.1.1.44

Pretty sure that's what this line is all about.

i personally use this batch after install (more flexible for different pc's)

@echo off

:NW_CHOOSE

ECHO.

ECHO 1. STATIC

ECHO 2. DHCP

ECHO 3. Cancel

SET /P NW_CONF=[Do you want to use DHCP or specify a static IP? (Select 1 or 2)]

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "1" GOTO NW_INPUT

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "2" GOTO NW_SET_DHCP

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "3" GOTO END

:NW_INPUT

SET /P STATIC_IP=[iP:]

SET /P SUBNET=[subnet Mask:]

SET /P GATEWAY=[Default Gateway:]

SET /P DNS=[DNS Server:]

ECHO.

ECHO You specified:

ECHO IP Address: %STATIC_IP%

ECHO Subnet Mask: %SUBNET%

ECHO Default Gateway: %GATEWAY%

ECHO DNS Server: %DNS%

:NW_CONFIRM

ECHO.

SET /P NW_CONF=[is this correct? Y/N:]

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "Y" GOTO NW_SET_STATIC

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "N" GOTO NW_INPUT

GOTO NW_CONFIRM

:NW_SET_STATIC

netsh int ip add address "Local Area Connection" %STATIC_IP% %SUBNET%

netsh int ip add address "Local Area Connection" gateway=%GATEWAY% gwmetric=1

netsh int ip add dns "Local Area Connection" %DNS%

GOTO END

:NW_SET_DHCP

netsh int ip set add "Local Area Connection" dhcp

GOTO END

:END

will set ip, subnet, gateway and dns.

thx guy it's a good script!!!!!

Yeah very nice.

Thanks a ton,

Will

no problem, also use this for naming afterwards. i just have both copied to the desktop and run them after full install.

@echo off

:NW_CHOOSE

ECHO.

SET /P NW_CONF=[Do you want to change the computer name Y/N:]

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "Y" GOTO NW_INPUT

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "N" GOTO END

:NW_INPUT

SET /P NAME=[NAME:]

ECHO.

ECHO You specified:

ECHO NAME: %NAME%

:NW_CONFIRM

ECHO.

SET /P NW_CONF=[is this correct? Y/N:]

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "Y" GOTO NW_SET_NAME

IF /I "%NW_CONF%" == "N" GOTO NW_INPUT

GOTO NW_CONFIRM

:NW_SET_NAME

compname.exe /c %NAME%

GOTO END

:END

you will also need the attached file: compname.exe (put in system32 under $oem$ )

compname.rar

:NW_SET_STATIC

netsh int ip add address "Local Area Connection" %STATIC_IP% %SUBNET%

netsh int ip add address "Local Area Connection" gateway=%GATEWAY% gwmetric=1

netsh int ip add dns "Local Area Connection" %DNS%

GOTO END

dnrc, I see your script sets the gateway separately from the ip and mask. I also, noticed that you cannot set them at the same time although the commandline help indicates that you can in one of the examples.

I thought I would just point this out in case people didn't just copy your script verbatim and tried to use the example from NETSH.EXE.

HTH

yep that's exactly what i found. the help says you can but it doesn't work so i split it over two lines.
