[Unattended] TCPTSR.EXE gives NET0133: IP-Address already in use
I've just started trying to cobble my own replacement for Altiris Deployment Server together using the Unattended tools and I'm having an issue under both environments that I thought I would run by the list. It's similar to a problem I found in the archives here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00274.h tml but with a twist. I only get the hang when I'm on a specific VLAN on my network. If I change the VLANs of both the DHCP/TFTP server and the target box, I get my DHCP address without any errors. And if you let the hang go long enough (more than 20 minutes) it comes back with the "TCPTSR.EXE gives NET0133: IP-Address already in use" message. The VLAN in question is my DMZ, so it has things like PIX firewalls and CSS load balancer devices on the same network, but I can't imagine any of them would be causing this problem.

Re: [Unattended] how to disable sound
"pommerer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > how is it possible to disable/enable sound during installation > (base.bat) Interesting question. The best I can find is this VB script from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=178456 I tried and failed to find a way to do this from Perl. The problem is that there is no COM interface for controlling the Windows Mixer; you need to call functions inside winmm.dll (and I do not think rundll32 will work for this). - Pat --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

I have been thinking about it this week and browsing lots of source code (especially klibc, hotplug, and autofs). I believe I have a Plan and I am going to begin work today. I realize most people do not care about a Linux boot disk, and there are lots of "more important" open bugs and feature requests. But I need to have some fun with the project. > From what I saw the features that people are interested in gaining are: > >* Install directly to an NTFS filesystem rather than using FAT as >an intermediate, then converting to NTFS and defragmenting. This is not actually a big deal anymore. I asked the FreeDOS folks about running Microsoft's OFORMAT: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6992940 ...and they responded by adding a new switch to FreeDOS format: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6993158 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6993161 ...which we are using in the next release: http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00943.html So say goodbye to 512-byte clusters. Well, for XP and above, anyway. By the way, I have decided to call the next release 3.6 and reserve 4.x for the Linux-based boot disk. (Do not worry; the DOS boot disk is not going away.) >* More flexibility with network drivers. And better reliability. > Am I missing anything that people aleady mentioned on the list? Unlike DOS, Linux is a "real" operating system with real tools. So the possibilities are endless. For example, we could add our logo to the installation screen, if we had a logo... > One feature that I hope to be able to add is the ability to host > installation data on a web server rather than mounting a network > filesystem. Should be easy if you just mean pulling stuff down using lynx or wget. Possibly harder if you mean remote-mounting a filesystem using HTTP, although http://dav.sourceforge.net/ looks promising... - Pat --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

I finally got around to experimenting with this, only to find that dnr.exe is only useful for "ping". It does not enable DNS resolution for "net use", so this is a dead end. The Linux boot disk will use DNS for name resolution (of course). - Pat --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Nowadays, there is documentation from MS (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328010), but it lists the other registry key. > The reason I ask is that I was planing to modify the auconfig.pl to > include the posibility to change the windowsupdate server to a local > SUS server, ect. and all docs I have seen says I should use the > policies key. Obviously, we should switch to using the documented key. Except... People discovered the other key by monitoring what the Control Panel GUI tool does. So what happens if you set the "Policies" key in the registry, and then the user tries to change the settings with the GUI? I would like to know before we make this change.

No, although there is an open feature request for this on the SourceForge page. Patches are always welcome... You can find logs for individual application installs under C:\netinst\logs. - Pat --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Re: [Unattended] Curse HP SoftPAQs! Is there are workaround.
(Administrative note: Sorry I haven't been around lately. You can blame IBM for consuming all my free time: http://domino.research.ibm.com/Comm/wwwr_ponder.nsf/challenges/February2004.html But I do have some cycles to burn on Unattended this weekend.)

You do not need to do that. Anything which lives under $oem$\$1 will be copied to the C:\ drive first thing, as long as you set OemPreinstall=Yes (which we do). > My questions is, would it be possible to specify during the install > dialog that there are SoftPAQ files to be setup and then have the > script copy the exes to the hard drive and then automatically run > each exe. You could add such invocations to postinst.bat, perhaps, but if any of them require rebooting I think you are in trouble. All of the machinery for rebooting the machine and regaining control afterward lives in todo.pl, which obviously requires Perl. So basically, I do not think this is easy. You would really rather just have the actual drivers, like every other vendor provides. You might try contacting HP or using their technical forums to ask about doing unattended installations on these systems. Or tell HP you are switching to Dell :-). - Pat --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now. Build and deploy apps & Web services for Linux with a free DVD software kit from IBM.
