Unattended install answer file additional entries

[Rayzor]

Hello:

I am currently a student working in a Co-op term at a local employer.
One of my jobs is to install windows 2000 pro, basic software like
office, and then more employer specific software. I have found it
quite tedious to have to do the same procedures over and over. So I
have completed a basic windows 2000 bootable cd with answer file. It
works well. Now I would like to be able to add some additional
things....

I have been able to configure the disc to join the corporate
domain....but is it possible to be able to add domain global groups
into the local administrators group from the answer file??? this would
be nice so that when I log on for the first time, I can use my domain
account which has the access to the corporate folder that contains all
the software on the network.

Thanks

Rayzor

You might get something out of this:

Yes that worked. Not totally like I hoped but I guess it will have to
do. I was hoping that it would add the global group during the
installation but I still have to log on the first time with the local
administrator account. Once I do that I noticed a quick cmd box flash
on and off the screen. I am able to then log off and log back on with
my domain account... and continue... I was just hoping to eliminate
this step totally.

Thanks for the pointer
