InTheWayBoy Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I always enclose the values in " " like this:JoinWorkgroup="PRIVAT"I seem to remember that gave me a problem before, but I can't recall if that was the fix or not. It was definantly due to an error in the winnt.sif. Where is the other "ARBEITSGRUPPE" coming from? Usually the default is just "WORKGROUP", so it sounds like there may be some other setting changing that value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 That's strange, because the ref.chm reference doesn't use quotes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I think the problen is the space after the equals sign. The JoinWorkgroup value is a string and should start immediately after the equals sign. When the setup reaches the space it treats it as the end of the string. Since an empty string is not a valid workgroup name setup uses the default value which for this version is ARBEITSGRUPPE. Quotes are only needed when the string value contains deliminating characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Frechdax3000: I have made an AutoIt script that I run (Norwegian XP) as the last instance of my UA installation, that runs the network setup wizard, sets up sharing of printers and files and also sets the correct ComputerName and Workgroup. It gets the WorkGroup from winnt.sif (regardless of how your workgroup line looks) and uses your computers UserName as ComputerName.Just modify the dialogs to match german system and the rest is ready to use. NO MORE HASSLE RUNNING THE NETWORK SETUP WIZARD AFTER FRESH INSTALL.Here's the script! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
