Dustinwmew Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) Windows in GUI setup that the admin (me) forgot to give needed info in the winnt.sif, so it needs the users help. It pops up to put in the computers name, but it is alrealy typed in like i have below and grayed out.;SetupMgrTag[Data] MsDosInitiated = "No" AutoPartition=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] OemPnPDriversPath = way to long for bord NonDriverSigningPolicy = "Ignore" DriverSigningPolicy = "Ignore" OemPreinstall = "Yes" FileSystem=* UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS ProgramFilesDir="E:\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="E:\Program Files\Common Files"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=this is NOT my password EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 ProfilesDir="F:\Documents and Settings\" DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\Install\DetachedProgram\mt39.exe"[UserData] ProductID=allyo-urbas-esare-belong-tous <- not real key FullName="Whatyousay" OrgName="Cats" ComputerName=Level1-XP-Sys1[Display] BitsPerPel=16 Xresolution=800 YResolution=600[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Tone AreaCode=410[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Home[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No[NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1[params.Adapter1] INFID=*[NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient[NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP[params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off[Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff = no DefaultThemesOff = Yes[GuiRunOnce] command7 = "%systemdrive%\install\setup.bat" command8 = "%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd" command9 = "%systemdrive%\install\pagefile.bat"I just looked at it ones more. I seen that "Level1-XP-Sys1" is not in quotes.But why would it still fill in the name? Plus on the unattended guide homepage it does not use quotes.

Incroyable HULK Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Maybe the quotes are required because of the caracter - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustinwmew Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) nope, puting it in quotes does not help.anyone have any idears what would did this? Edited July 26, 2005 by Dustinwmew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustinwmew Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 This is what is says:unattended setup is unable to continue because a setup parameter specified by your system administrator or computer manufacturere is missing or invalid. Setup must therefore ask you to provide this information now.Once you have furnished the required information, unattended Setup oreration will continue.

Dustinwmew Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 burp...anyone have a idea why it would do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 On the same page as the computer name, you have the admin password. And I believe that may be your problem.If you specify EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes, then AdminPassword cannot contain a plain text password. To use an encrypted password you must use Setup Manager. If you wish to specify a plain text password, you must specify EncryptedAdminPassword=No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustinwmew Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 my password is not "this is NOT my password". I just put that in here like I put in ProductID=allyo-urbas-esare-belong-tous. To cover up my Encrypted password (not that it would be ez for someone to find out the password with it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) Try ComputerName=* to test .. Setup will generate a random name ... or try to reduce the name under 8 chars (and without - or symbols ...) ...Goodbye.

Dustinwmew Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Tryed ComputerName=*, it did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywindow Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Try this it works for me?ComputerName = "Level1-XP-Sys1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustinwmew Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 nope that is not working for me.I also tryed copying my winnt.sif, $OEM$, and SVCPACK.IN_ to a clean SP2 CD. Then ran Bâshrat's driverpack.It still comes up.In GUIsetup what does it ask before asking about the computer name? Maybe something that comes before the Computer name qusten is massing it up.Do you want me to repost what my winnt.sif looks like now?If yes, edit it at the top, or just repost?

Railman5 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Not 100% sure but you quoted ......also tryed copying my winnt.sif, $OEM$, and SVCPACK.IN_ to a clean SP2 CD. Then ran Bâshrat's driverpack.When I have made a svcpack I replace the SVCPACK.IN_ in the i386 folder to SVCPACK.INF so it reads my tweaked svcpackHave you also checked your Unattended.txt file?may all be obvious but worth a check????? Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
