[Unattended] XP domain logons and automatic updates
I have a couple of questions about Windows procedure in a domain environment. We use the unattended deployment method to setup the machines and join them to the domain, but the first time a user logons on to a machine it takes a long time. The domain controller is running Windows 2000 Server with AD, and the machines are running XP. Is there some kind of compatability issue with 2000 Server and XP, or something else. Has anyone else experienced this, or know of a way to remedy it. Secondly, if I set the machines to download and install updates automatically @ 5 AM everyday, does someone have to be logged in at that time, or will the updates still take care of themselves? And if someone happens to be logged on at that time, do they notice anything? Thanks, Justin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.

That is really a very important part of Free Software (and Open Source), the ability to hire anyone for support. Having a page with links to consultants offering support for unattended might not be out of the scope of the project, but that's certainly not my call. However this mailinglist seem like the obvious place to make a query about paid support-options :-). - Veronica Loell --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.

Re: [Unattended] paid support options
Well... There are many companies which make their money by supporting open source products. Red Hat is perhaps the most prominent, but there are lots of smaller ones. As long as the source code remains free, I do not see a problem. That said, I am not sure Unattended has enough users to make paid support a profitable option. On the other hand, the source code is available to everyone, so really anybody could offer paid support on a "consulting" basis. Ryan, could you be more specific about what you are looking for in terms of support? Specifically, what kind of a contract do you think your company is looking for? - Pat "Shenan Stanley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I would think that would be "outside the spirit of the unattended > project."

RE: [Unattended] paid support options
I would think that would be "outside the spirit of the unattended project." As everything in the unattended (as it is on the web) is a freely distributable (and put together) effort. I could be wrong there, but that would be my feeling on having a "paid support" division of the project. It then turns into something other than a project and into a company. -- Shenan T.
