Hi,

Can anybody please explain how to practically deploy win2k prof on a new system. I am aware theriotically but the problem is how do I install the network card driver from DOS prompt and can how I map the network drive where I have created the image file of the OS in the server.
I have created the answer file and copied into a floppy disk. How do I proceed, kindly elaborate.

Well, once you connect to your network drive using dos, make sure you have your floppy disk in the drive (with the answer file in it).

the command to start an unattended installation from dos is:

c:\WINNT /s:\\SERVERNAME\SHARE /u:a:\unattend.txt

the /S indicates where the source files are.
the /U indicates where the answer file is.

you can also type WINNT /? for a list of all options.

good luck,

How do we map the network drive (command/syntax)
And also why winnt appears in the above command mentioned.
Also please can anyone explain the command used, because it is not clear and I have tried and its not working.
