How Can I Log An Unattend Install?

[johnbreton]

Sorry for the probably basic question, but I am new to all this unattended installation of Windows XP.

I am reading the Microsoft Desktop Deployement Ressrouce Kit and can't find what I am looking for.

Is there a way to log exactly the whole process of an Fully automatted unatttend installation?

My unattend file crash in the middle of copying file but I don't know where it crash?

Thanks for any help..

a) If you're in the dynamic Update portion of the install and it's saying that it can't copy winnt.sif, my experience has been that there's a typing error on the file. Try running setupmgr again and make a plain winnt.sif file to see if it works

B) if the plain winnt.sif file works, glance through ref.chm to add your extra items and to double check your syntax

c) if the plain winnt.sif file works, make sure that you do NOT have "hide known file extension" checked in tools>folder options>view. Make sure your file is not winnt.sif.txt

try renaming the file to WINNT.SIF

try putting the winnt.sif file on a 3.5" disk
