August 3, 200521 yr Hi,I couldn't disable messanger, msn explorer, and outlook express from winnt.sif.Here is my file: Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault UnattendSwitch=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=*[GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 Yresolution=768 Vrefresh=75 AutoConfirm=1[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] msmsgs= off msnexplr= off OEAccess= off
August 3, 200521 yr Try removing the spaces;[Components] msmsgs= offmsnexplr= offOEAccess= off Becomes;[Components] msmsgs=offmsnexplr=offOEAccess=off
August 3, 200521 yr Just put a space after msnexplr the entry should be (msnexplr = off). The items list (in mine winnt.sif) is below:[Components]accessopt = offcalc = offcharmap = offClipbook = offdeskpaper = offdialer = offfreecell = offheart = offhypertrm = offmedia_clips = offmedia_utopia = offminesweeper = offmousepoint = offmplay = offmsnexplr = offmswordpad = offnetoc = offobjectpkg = offpaint = offpinball = offrec = offsolitaire = offspider = offtemplates = offvol = offWbemCrrl = offWbemFwrd = offWMAccess = offzonegames = off
August 3, 200521 yr Author Thanks man..I am trying that right now. I will let you know how it goes...Just put a space after msnexplr the entry should be (msnexplr = off). The items list (in mine winnt.sif) is below:[Components]accessopt = offcalc = offcharmap = offClipbook = offdeskpaper = offdialer = offfreecell = offheart = offhypertrm = offmedia_clips = offmedia_utopia = offminesweeper = offmousepoint = offmplay = offmsnexplr = offmswordpad = offnetoc = offobjectpkg = offpaint = offpinball = offrec = offsolitaire = offspider = offtemplates = offvol = offWbemCrrl = offWbemFwrd = offWMAccess = offzonegames = off <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
August 3, 200521 yr Author It didn't work for me. I have exactly the same format. I only have 3 components listed, do you think that might be the problem. Is there any other components that needs to be turned off.i have the same as pawan and works a treat.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
August 4, 200521 yr Is your unattended setup is working (like windows key, resolution, partition etc.)?Pawan
August 4, 200521 yr make sure you haveOemPreinstall=YesUnattendSwitch=Yesset in the [unattended] section.and be aware that OEAccess=No just disables all visible entries to Outlook Express in Start Menu, Quick Launch and so an, but does not disable the installation of it.
August 4, 200521 yr Author I have configured so it prompts me for partition size, computer name, and admin password. Windows keys are being pulled from the winnt.sif file. I have the display section in my answer file, but it doesn't seem like it is getting that information. As i have to change the display to 1024*768. Thanks...Is your unattended setup is working (like windows key, resolution, partition etc.)?Pawan<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
August 4, 200521 yr Author I am going to try your suggestion. I will disable outlook express from group policy as well. I just like to disable all visible entries to outlook express.make sure you haveOemPreinstall=YesUnattendSwitch=Yesset in the [unattended] section.and be aware that OEAccess=No just disables all visible entries to Outlook Express in Start Menu, Quick Launch and so an, but does not disable the installation of it.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

December 5, 200520 yr I have exactly the same problem. All settings are applied correctly, except for the entries in [Components] and TimeZone. Has someone found a solution to this problem?;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes[Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault FileSystem=* OemPreinstall=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes WaitForReboot=No UnattendSwitch=Yes [GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional=0 OEMSkipWelcome=1 TimeZone=105[UserData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="" OrgName=""[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off[Shell] DefaultThemesOff=Yes DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes
December 5, 200520 yr The only thing i can suggest is you try changing UnattendMode to FullUnattended in stead of ProvideDefault..But i could be totally wrong...
