vickerps Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hi GuysI have set up a RIS server on windows 2003 server standardThe RIS server will distrubute windows 2003 server and XPThe server is working fine i can pxe boot and install a copy of either 2003 or xp sucessfully.The problem i have is that the unattended install script (remboot.sif) i set doesn't seem to give and option on configuring partitions.At the moment ris installs the OS to the whole drive. However i don't want this. I want to either select a portion of the drive or ideally create two seperate partitions.Is there a way to do this?

vickerps Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Hi klasikaThanks for the reply. What is AutoPartition=0 suppose to do because it didn't seem do anything as far as i can see. I still end up with a pc loaded with a OS with 1 partition on one drive.Here is my remboot.sif;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="1" UnattendedInstall="Yes" floppyless="1" OriSrc="\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" OriTyp="4" LocalSourceOnCD=1[SetupData] OsLoadOptions="/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice="\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%"[Unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore OemPnpDriversPath = Drivers\Broadcom;Drivers\soundmax UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=LeaveAlone NtUpgrade=No OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] FullName="anker" OrgName="ltd" Productid=**************** ComputerName=%MACHINENAME%[LicenseFilePrintData] AutoMode=PerServer AutoUsers=5[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809[SetupMgr] DistFolder=C:\windist DistShare=windist[Identification] JoinDomain=%MACHINEDOMAIN% DoOldStyleDomainJoin=Yes[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes ProcessPageSections=Yes[RemoteInstall] Repartition=Yes[OSChooser] Description="Windows Professional - Standard Installation" Help="This will install Windows 2003 Server 2003 standard edition" LaunchFile="%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\templates\startrom.com" ImageType=Flat[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=800 YResolution=600 Edited June 15, 2005 by vickerps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickerps Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 Thanks for that. it was the repartition = No and Use wholeDisk=No that i was missing. It not truly automated but i can live with it. then again if i was loading 50+ i would have to rethink that. I think Bill needs to get his finger out of his butt and add some line so that you can setup partions in the answer file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
