Hi,

Is it possible to use a unattended installation from CD, using the winnt.sif file, as well as a .udf file? If so, what would a sample command look like??

Thanks
Charl

Yes. It is possible.
First make the answer file and the Uniqueness Database File. I can make it manualy or use the setup wizard of w2k.
If you are using a standard instalation cd of w2k, just save the answer file and the udf in a diskette and the program does the rest.
If you want to specify here they are (on cd or a shared folder) just run winnt.exe like this:
winnt /u:D:\winnt.sif /udf:d:\mybase.udf /s:d:\

(/s - indicates were are the instalation files of w2k.)

NOTE the commands forupgrade are diferent, just run winnt32.exe /? for them.

Now just make a self run bat file that runs the command and it done.
Hope that helps. E-mail me if it doesn't.
