Unsigned Driver Warning,,

[Coolsights2000]

Who and what can I edit to make windows ignore the driving signing during the post installation of drivers,,

I'm talking about during the runonce install part...

or how can I change the machine policy to the way they work in XP..

I pulled this below off the M& site.

You cannot install programs with unsigned drivers in non-interactive mode in Windows Server 2003 or in Windows XP

To install a program in non-interactive mode, the driver package must have a .cat file that is digitally signed by Microsoft.

Note In Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, the driver signing policy level can be set to “ignore” when you install unsigned drivers. In Windows Server 2003, the default setting for driver signing policy is “warn." The “ignore” policy setting is not available in Windows Server 2003

How about doing a search?

winnt.sif

[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

There's also a reg "tweak"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=hex:00

I just love people like you that leap on the train cause you just fell off and got your legs cut off...

Those settings do not work on windows 2003 sever enterprise...

They have cut the phone line to those register settings...

I had already added those cause I did a search here and other places,,,

What I am finding is people are posting XP tweaks for 2003 server and they

Don't work..

Here are the keys for XP

HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x00010001,0

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x00000001,0

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching","DontSearchWindowsUpdate",0x00010001,1

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching","DontPromptForWindowsUpdate",0x00010001,1

and here is my winnt.sft top section and it has nothing to do with what I'm after

I'M TALKING POST INSTALL

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]

AutoPartition = 1

MsDosInitiated = 0

UnattendedInstall = Yes

AutomaticUpdates = No

[unattended]

UnattendMode = FullUnattended

OemSkipEula = Yes

OemPreinstall = Yes

UnattendSwitch = Yes

OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\1_Ati;Drivers\2_Sam;Drivers\3_Dell;Drivers\4_Lan"

TargetPath = \WINDOWS

FileSystem = LeaveAlone

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

Repartition = No

DUDisable = Yes

Hibernation = No

[shell]

DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes

DefaultThemesOff = Yes

So who knows the answer.........

Sorry BoardBabe, seems someone cannot get their facts straight. Saw the bold print in the 1st post earlier is false but a he returning a bolder post is just plain stupid.

Coolsights2000, if you want help, then do not act like a...

Edit: WTF do you add defaults to Winnt.sif???

It just seems to me people can't read

What clue is there in this line that you don't understand

or how can I change the machine policy to the way they work in XP..

THAT I'M NOT USING XP...............

Posting any question in this forum is USELESS a waste of time...

Cause You all can't read

and if you knew anything about Windows server 2003 Enterprise you would know better than post stuff that don't work ........

CoolSights, there is no real way around this in non-interactive mode. The setting in gpedit no longer applies to non-interactive driver installations, and thus you must approve the driver from the console or it won't install. There is no way around it, at least in 2003. If you had an XP machine in a Windows 2000 or mixed-mode 2000/2003 domain, you could still set the driver signing policy to ignore and it would apply to both interactive and non-interactive installations, but 2003 Server no longer allows this, as it is a security risk.

What drivers are you attempting to install non-interactively? And have you contacted the driver manufacturer to see if they have signed drivers, or have any in the works? If you had signed drivers, your problem would be solved.

Coolsights2000, please tone down the size of the fonts!

And read rule 7b.

If anyone who does know the answer sees this topic, then they'd post it...
