I need a deployment script to upgrade 1500 PCs from 98SE to WinXP Pro

Does anyone know where I might find and upgrade script for a
sittuation like this? There are some issues with the unattended
install that I can't get to work with our systems.

If I can find something close I can most likely modify it to my needs.

What I have is 1500 workstations on a Novell network. I need to
upgrade to Windows XP, Install all the updates, Virus Software, Novell
software and Office XP with the Service packs. I would like to send
out an email with a link to run the script.

I also need to be able to create users, add them to groups and move
the original admin account to another group.\


Any thoughts? Or any place where I might find the tools to get this
going?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dana
 
Hello Dana,
Look in the deploy.cab file located in the support\tools folder on the
product cd.
You can create unattended scripts using setupmgr in that cab file.
The help file explains a number of options that are available to you .
you may need to use cmdlines.txt to install hotfixes and service packs,
but the deployment guide that ships with the service pack contains various
deployment options and scenarios in it. You may want to read that to get
some more information.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
