hello, please need your advice

i just want to create a Windows-XP-CD with the 'winnt.sif' file in the folder i386, so i never have to entered in the future my Corp_Serial ...

is this the right one :

Quote:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
    AutoPartition=1
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[UserData]
    ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

are there some statements missing or too much ...

thanks for your help in advance :rolleyes:

have a nice day

Hi Kernel, :)

I attached a sample winnt.sif file.

Code:

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]

 &nbsp; &nbsp;AutoPartition=0

 &nbsp; &nbsp;MsDosInitiated="0"

 &nbsp; &nbsp;UnattendedInstall="Yes"



[Unattended]

 &nbsp; &nbsp;FileSystem=*

 &nbsp; &nbsp;UnattendMode=FullUnattended

 &nbsp; &nbsp;OemSkipEula=Yes

 &nbsp; &nbsp;OemPreinstall=No

 &nbsp; &nbsp;TargetPath=\WINDOWS

I suggest you to have AutoPartition=0 otherwise it will choose the drive and format without asking you -- possibility to loose your Data.

Have a look at this thread too.

Thanks ~*McoreD*~ for your quick reply,

so is my example right ( except AutoPartition=0 ) or not ... can i skip over all not needed parameters ?

remember, the only thing what i want is ... to skip entering the serialnumber ...

have a nice day

just tested it :D

this are the correct statements for skipping entering the serialnumber :

Quote:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
    AutoPartition=0
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[UserData]
    ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

have a nice day

Interesting Will. :)

Can I also safely add

Code:

[Components]

 &nbsp; msmsgs=off

 &nbsp; msnexplr=off

 &nbsp; zonegames=off

to my Winnt.sif or do I need further configuration?

Also, what is DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes ?

Thanks,
McoreD

Yes you can safely add that to yours.

DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes means to change to the normal start up menu. You know the normal win98/win2k start up menu instead of the new winxp one.

Thanks Will.

One more thing please. I like to have Primary DNS suffix automatically added as well.

http://img39.exs.cx/img39/3711/dns-suffix.png

For example, in my case: the csse.uwa.edu.au part. The computer name should be automatically generated.

I added the following:

[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents=Yes
DNSDomain=csse.uwa.edu.au

But it didn't seem to work. Much appreciated for guiding us on this. :)

Cheers,
McoreD

Will get back to you on this but try this:

[params.MS_TCPIP]
DNS=Yes
UseDomainNameDevolution=No
EnableLMHosts=No
AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]
DNSDomain=csse.uwa.edu.au

Of course change the Adapter1 to correct Adapter.
