Just getting into unattended installations of W2k Pro. So far, it is not near as unattended as I would like.

I'm using a boot disk to connect to a share and initializae the install. It always stops during boot-up to ask for a username and password and if I want to create a password list. Also, after the set-up files are copied to hd, is there a script that can be added to eject the floppy or remove it from the boot sequence.

Is there a way to automate all of this?
Thanks

You can use the RIS functionality in W2K Server with the NIC's boot rom (PXE) to tie the NIC's mac address to an install image. Hit F12 at boot and you are away. Have a look at unattended installs on Microsoft site for all the options. You could make a bootable CD and depending on the BIOS it won't boot without hitting a key.

see the details for unattended installation in win2k professional cd, it has given there all the details how you have to create an unattended file for installation and the command for installing unattended installation with including the file you have created. I hope this will solve your problem.
