I've been making my own unattended discs for a couple of years, but
have one almost minor frustration. Occasionally, the installation
goes just fine until it reaches the initial boot of Windows. One out
of ten installs fails to offer the dialog to create an initial user
and displays the Administrator ID on the login screen. This ALWAYS
seems to happen when I do an unattended install from the hard drive
instead of the CD/DVD. The cmd-line I use for an unattended install
from the hard drive follows:
C:\I386\WINNT32 /S:C:\I386 /UNATTEND:C:\I386\WINNT.SIF
The reason this is a big deal is that the installed apps have to be
adjusted/duplicated AFTER creating the initial user, partitially
defeating the purpose of an unattended install.
Are there ANY options for the cmd-line that consistently force the
creation of the initial user or pos there's an option for the
unattended answer file itself ?
Thanx in advance....Jet
