c73w Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi,I am deploying 60 + comps XP-Prof and have successfully made the CDROM with WINNT.sif file placed inside i386 folder. But I want unique machine names which I have entered during running setup.exe. Now I have the unattend.udb uniqueness database file created too. Now my question is that If I want to autoinstall using CD (without floppy) and want unique machine names, where di I place the unattend.udb file.

Nilfred Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 From ref.chm:win32.exe /udf:id[,UDB_file] Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database (UDB) file modifies an answer file (see the /unattend entry). The UDB overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDB file are used. For example, /udf:RAS_user,Our_company.udb overrides settings specified for the RAS_user identifier in the Our_company.udb file. If no UDB_file is specified, Setup prompts the user to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file.If you start the computer from the Windows product CD and run an unattended Setup, you cannot use the /udf command-line option for Winnt32.exe.Mmm, interesting. How the .udb file looks like inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c73w Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 The UDB file looks something like:;SetupMgrTag[uniqueIds] NOISYD001=UserData NOISYD002=UserData NOISYD003=UserData[NOISYD001:UserData] ComputerName=NOISYD001[NOISYD002:UserData] ComputerName=NOISYD002[NOISYD003:UserData] ComputerName=NOISYD003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
