WhatBackHand Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I've nearly finished helping make an unattended disk but I cannot get the DNS set via WINNT.SIF. To check I've got the syntax right I've made an unattend.txt file with setupmgr and the entries look the same?The (relevant?) extract from my SIF file is below. Is there something I'm missing? For example is there a change in SP2 that I haven't picked up? Is it just getting late in the week and I need a rest?[Networking]InstallDefaultComponents = No[NetAdapters]Adapter01=params.Adapter01[params.Adapter01]INFID=*[NetClients]MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient[NetServices]MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER[params.MS_MSClient][NetProtocols]MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP[params.MS_TCPIP]AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter01[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter01]SpecificTo=Adapter01DHCP=YesDNSServerSearchOrder=10.1.2.3,192.168.1.1,192.168.1.100WINS=YesWinsServerList=10.1.2.4There is no DNS server on this site so I need to point to a DNS server at "head office" and the ISP and I'm fed up with setting this on every PC and every build.HELP ME!!

Doc Symbiosis Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I don't know if this makes any difference is, that my Network-adapter is named: AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1It's the only diffenrence, I can see in my config. By the way, I think that since SP2 nothing has changed in the winnt.sif concerning the network configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatBackHand Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Thanks Doc,I've seen both labels used in posts or reference material, so I treated it as a label. However, I have changed the label and it makes no difference, the settings are still ignored.I've been testing this prior to live use, on VMWare and a laptop with a PCMCIA NIC. Maybe the SIF settings are set before the drivers are loaded and therefore overwritten/ignored when they are loaded? Getting a bit frustrated with this as it should be so simple! Can anybody else shed some light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
