Unatteneded RIS not working when set to WORKGROUP

[chiners_68]

OK, i have got multiple RIS images which run fine.

i want a RIS image but dont want it to join our domain I just want it to setup on a workgroup. The problem im havving is the final reboot after installation im getting the welcome to & help me protect screens which need manual intevention.

i have got the settings for this in my sif file but for some reason after the reboot & because its not joinning my doamain it refuses to rwead the $winnt$ for the answers to these pages.

what can I do to resolve this issue.

I was told the Install should look at the $winnt$ after the reboot which is a copy of the sif file but it dosent seem to..

anyone any ideas...

[Ctrl-X]

I have no experience with this scenario myself, but I suspect you'll need to include an oobeinfo.ini file with the correct settings to achieve this.

[chiners_68]

I have read that oobeinfo.ini dosent run in conjuction with an unattended install. is this right..?

Yeeeaaahhh, got it working..

it was this line in the sif file I needed to add

[unattended]UnattendSwitch = Yes

works fine on my domain without it but a machine running as a workgroup needs.
