HI
A brief description I am trying to carry out a network installation between
two machines, the source PC is a server running windows 2003 server standard,
the client is a HP Compaq nx6125 laptop.
Both machines are communicating, the server has been set up using
"SetupMgr.exe", to install windows 2000 server onto a source directory
\datsoc\osinstallation\win2000serv. The laptop has Bart Dos Boot disk
installed and running.
All so far appears to be working, the source directory is shared and able to
locate the "unattend.bat", from the client.
The problem I am having is if I try to run the "unattend.bat" remotely, using
winnt /u:unattend.bat /s:\\qtx-buildserver\win2000inst /t:c:
The windows 2000 setup blue window appears with the following script:
"The script file specified with the /u command line switch
unattend.bat
contains a syntax error on line 1.
Setup cannot continue.
I have tried editing and removing some of the lines, but still get the same
message as above.
The "unattend.bat" file
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@rem SetupMgrTag
@echo on
rem
rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by the Setup Manager Wizard.
rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may
have rem to be modified.
rem
set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txt
set SetupFiles=\\QTX-BUILDSERVER\win2000inst
\\QTX-BUILDSERVER\win2000inst\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Suspicions are there may be a problem with the versions of DOS, the
floppy disk I am using for booting up the client/remote machine is using DOS
from Windows 98, and the master is running Windows 2003 Server.
Finally, perhaps I should ask the question is it possible run an Unattended
remote installation, to install windows 2000 server from a shared directory
on a windows 2003 server to a remote machine using a bootup floppy disk using
DOS (Win98)?
I know it can be done using XP on a remote client.
