Software / Unattended Setup with My Own administrator name
« on: April 30, 2003, 08:18:33 AM »
Dont' answer if you don't know!!

You can change the administrator password with a sercurity template after the installation or during the unattended installation with a simple batch file and a pre-configure security template. Here is the batch file that I used.

:: Import Security Configuration Template
cmd /c secedit /configure /db %SystemRoot%\security\database\WXP_Secure.sdb /cfg %SystemRoot%\Security\Templates\WXP_Secure.inf /log %SystemRoot%\Options\Cabs\LogFiles\WXP_Secure.log

Exit


Check www.NSA.org for more information about security templates.

Software / Unattended Win2k Install Question
« on: April 16, 2003, 03:54:34 PM »
If you use Novell's ACU or Automatic Client Update then it does not require that you reboot right away. You can force a reboot later with Shutdown.exe. I do mine this way and it works great!

Software / $OEM$ folder, where??
« on: March 18, 2003, 04:14:20 PM »
Name the answer file winnt.sif and place it the i386 folder. As far as the $OEM$ folder goes, if this is a CD - place it at the root of the cd. If this is a network installation then place it in I386. Also to create user accounts you can create batch files with the NET or NET USER commands and call the batch file from cmdlines.txt.

Software / WinXP $oem$ Unattended Install
« on: March 10, 2003, 02:01:35 PM »
It is true for a CD the OEM folder must be at the same level as I386, except for a network installation then its I386/$oem$. Also it looks as if you trying to install mpsetup.exe and msjavwu.exe during both in the answer file and the cmdlines txt files. So only need these install in one place. Start by creating just a batch file. the manually executing it. Then call for the batch file once the install works. Third, in cmdline.txt there MUST be quotations around the command. such as \".mpsetup.exe\" If the command line itself has the need for quotation then you need to call the command with a batch file. Fourth the exe\' that you call need to be at the root of $OEM$ unless you state the entire path. And lastly about the hibernation option, I have found that the hibernation options does not work when deploying to laptops. I have not determined if this works with desktops. Can anyone help with this hibernation option?? Microsoft states that Hibernation=0/1 Specifies whether to enable the hibernation option in the Power Options control panel.

Software / change default admin account

This can be done with a security template. Import your edited template during the install. I used this command line:

cmd /c secedit /configure /db %SystemRoot%securitydatabaseWXP_Secure.sdb /cfg %SystemRoot%SecurityTemplatesWXP_Secure.inf /log %SystemRoot%OptionsCabsLogFilesWXP_Secure.log

Good Luck!

Software / Saving WinXP Settings
« on: March 03, 2003, 01:04:34 PM »
Most of your setting can be done with a security template such as services, file rights, and some policy settings. You can also add additional registry settings and rights. First you should create a security template then import the template during the install. Here is the command line that I used.

cmd /c secedit /configure /db %SystemRoot%securitydatabaseWXP_Secure.sdb /cfg %SystemRoot%SecurityTemplatesWXP_Secure.inf /log %SystemRoot%OptionsCabsLogFilesWXP_Secure.log

The security template can easily be edited with mmc. Good Luck! Let me know if I can help further.

Software / Install DirectX 9 Unattended
« on: February 24, 2003, 02:15:30 PM »
If you are creating a CD place $OEM$ at the root of the CD and if this is a network installation place $OEM$ in the I386 Folder. Hope this helps. If not check your answer file (winnt.sif or unattend.txt) for:

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall=Yes

This must be set to yes in order to copy over the files.

Good Luck!

Anyone know how to apply a certain view to an attended setup; Maybe some reg keys added to cmdlines.txt, unatend.txt or winnt.sif could be easily applied, however i have been unable to find the reg keys to set the views. More specifically the List view. And even additional features like:

Display the full path in Address Bar
Display the full path in Title Bar
Hide File Extensions and Folders
Show Hidden Files and Folders
Display compressed files and folders with Alternate Color

Software / WMP 9 Silent...
« on: February 20, 2003, 10:41:55 AM »
I didnt notice the system restore switch. Why would you want to install Media Player without having system restore on?? Also what is your reason why you have to have it in cmdlines.txt?

Software / WMP 9 Silent...
« on: February 20, 2003, 09:34:55 AM »
Yes it is possible however it will not be totally unattended. A box will pop up and warn you about not be able to include the installation into the system restore. Then you have to choose wether to continue with the installation or not. The only reason you would have to have an installation in cmdlines.txt is if you need the registry changes of the application to go to all users (HK_Users). Media player installs to all users any way you install it, so just place the cmd in winnt.sif or unattend.txt. I hope this helps.

Try this:
[Unattended]

Filesystem=ConvertNTFS   ;Specifies whether to convert the primary partition to NTFS or to leave it alone

Granted that you want to use NTFS; this should always format inorder to convert regardless if it is previously FAT or NTFS. Well give it a try. Let me know if it works.

Software / Format & Install XP on CD
« on: February 19, 2003, 12:18:25 PM »
You could add these lines to your winnt.sif or unattend.txt

[Unattended]
Filesystem=ConvertNTFS   ;Specifies whether to convert the primary partition to NTFS or to leave it alone

Repartition=Yes      ;Specifies whether to delete all partitions on the first drive of the client computer and to reformat the drive with the NTFS file system

Note: With both these switchs togehter Windows installation does a quick format and not a full format. Not sure if a full format in the unattend installation is possible in the answer file.
