erik_demon Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 @alderoYou need to have the following line in your winnt.sif file:[Unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes@hossmDo you use windows 2000?In windows 2000 either $docs or $Progs didn't work (I can't remember which on ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hossm Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Yes, I am using Win 2000. I'm actually using RIS (on Win 2000 Server) and the image is Win 2000 as well. I used FileMon on the server and saw that the setup actually does look at the folder in the $Progs directory, and reads each file but then deletes them and doesn't copy them over. Everything else, it reads and copies over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Windows 2000 doesn't support either $Prog and $Docs are they tied to OOBE for copying over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hossm Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Thanks for the info Alanoll! Now when you say Win 2000 doesn't support either one, do you mean if I had RIS running on Win 2003, then it would be supported? Or is it the image (Win 2000) that doesn't support it?

Alanoll Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 RIS basically runs the Setup of the OS wanting to be installed correct? It's the setup of the OS that determines what is copied. Windows 2000 doesn't support this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hossm Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 That makes sense. Thanks again for all your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
