Unattended UPGRADE to XP

P

Patrickm

All of my client are Win2kPro, I want to an unattended upgrade to them all
but no matter what I do the upgrade kicks off and then prompts me for the
stupid Key Code. If I do an unattended install ( winnt32.exe
/unattend:unatttend.txt) is does a complete install making each machine a
dual boot. How the heck can I get XP to UPGRADE my Win2k machines without
prompting for anything???

Hello Patrick,
What is in the unattended file?
You need an unattended file for the upgrade to not answer any questions
manually, but the settings will determine whether this is going to work
properly or not.
If you post the unattended file, remove the product key, passwords, or
other private information first
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Hello Patrick,
What is the first 8 digits of the PID ( located on the properties of my
computer of the installation)?
What is contained on the PID= line in the setupp.ini located in the i386
folder of the install cd\share?

Hey I got it to work!!!!!! Tried it on 2 other machines and it worked almost
flawlessly, My first test station must have had other issues. NOW my next
question is how do I slipstream in OEM drivers for networkcards and video.
The two machines that upgraded were asking me to put in the "Intel Pro Setup
Disk" after it rebooted. It was looking for "e1000b.sys" drivers. I would
like to have this be automatic. I know it can be done - just forgot how.
Thanks for all your help thus far!!

Hello Patrick,
See this article that talks about adding drivers via an unattended file.
314479 How to Add OEM Plug and Play Drivers to Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314479

I don't recall if you can add drivers during an upgrade or not.
I seem to recall some issues when
ntupgrade=yes
that needed to be
OEMpreinstall=no

But to add drivers OEMPreinstall needs to be yes
Try it and let me know
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Hey I got it to work!!!!!! Tried it on 2 other machines and it worked almost
flawlessly, My first test station must have had other issues. NOW my next
question is how do I slipstream in OEM drivers for networkcards and video.
The two machines that upgraded were asking me to put in the "Intel Pro Setup
Disk" after it rebooted. It was looking for "e1000b.sys" drivers. I would
like to have this be automatic. I know it can be done - just forgot how.
Thanks for all your help thus far!!

Hello Patrick,
What is the first 8 digits of the PID ( located on the properties of my
computer of the installation)?
What is contained on the PID= line in the setupp.ini located in the i386
folder of the install cd\share?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Gave it a try - It performed a parallel Clean Install of WindowsXP i.e. A
dual boot machine


Hello Patrick,
Oempreinstall needs to be no for upgrades
Ntupgrade needs to be set to yes.
See the example:
[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=No
NTUpgrade=Yes
TargetPath=\WINDOWS

Hello Patrick,
What is in the unattended file?
You need an unattended file for the upgrade to not answer any
questions
manually, but the settings will determine whether this is going to
work
properly or not.
If you post the unattended file, remove the product key, passwords, or
other private information first
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

All of my client are Win2kPro, I want to an unattended upgrade to them
all
but no matter what I do the upgrade kicks off and then prompts me for
the
stupid Key Code. If I do an unattended install ( winnt32.exe
/unattend:unatttend.txt) is does a complete install making each machine
a
dual boot. How the heck can I get XP to UPGRADE my Win2k machines
without
prompting for anything???
