RE: [Unattended] registry + other user
In the Windows 2000 Resource Kit there is a utility reg.exe that can be used in batch files to script registry modifications. For example, here are a couple of lines using reg.exe (in the z:\bin directory) that modify variables in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Hive. I use these on a Windows XP installation for a laptop that does not belong to a domain: rem Disable Windows Welcome Screen (classic logon) %z%\bin\reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "AllowMultipleTSSessions" /t REG_DWORD /f /d 0x0 %z%\bin\reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "LogonType" /t REG_DWORD /f /d 0x0 Perhaps you could use a logon script to check for group membership (KiXtart is an easy way of doing this) and call an appropriate batch file to set registry values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, although I am not sure if the logon script would attempt to run before the user profile had been created. If you stick a shortcut to a kiXtart script in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup this should run at the correct point.

With local profiles, you cannot do this until after the user has logged in for the first time. This is because the user-specific registry settings are stored in the profile, and a local profile is created (by copying the Default User profile) the first time a user logs in. If the user has logged in already, or if you are using roaming profiles, you can edit the NTUSER.DAT registry hive in the profile folder. For local profiles, this is normally "C:\Documents and Settings\username". For roaming profiles, it is whatever network directory you use to hold the profiles. To edit these settings, you must first load the hive. Interactively, you would run regedt32, select Registry -> Load Hive, navigate to the NTUSER.DAT file you want, and choose where in the registry the hive should appear. (Note that NTUSER.DAT is a "hidden" file.) Then you would edit the registry and unload the hive. MS documents this here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/help/load_hive_reged.htm From a Perl script, you would use Win32::TieRegistry, call the "Load" method to load the hive, make your registry changes, and call the Unload method. We use this approach to edit the "Default User" hive in our win2ksp4-notips.pl script.

RE: [Unattended] wish list
A poor-man's version of this is to: 1) Stick a copy of shutdown.exe from the resource kit into the z:\bin directory. 2) Create a batch file "z:\bin\abort.bat" containing the following line z:\bin\shutdown /A 3)Add the following to your build script: Todo.pl "shortcut.pl z:\bin\abort.bat special:AllUsersDesktop" There are a few different shutdown.exe variants around with different parameters.

One feature of Ghost that I can't seem to find in other products is that if you image a 10Gb partition containing only 2Gb of data, you can end up with a compressed file of around 1Gb, rather than a bit-for-bit copy of the whole 10Gb.

RE: [Unattended] Booting the unattended CD on a diskless laptop
I've been having problems with PXE boot on a Toshiba Tecra S1 that are solved by 2.07-pre5. In addition to this version of MEMDISK, I also had to disable USB legacy floppy emulation in BIOS. On this machine, the "net diag /status < nul > \netdiag.txt" command in the autoexec.bat seemed to hang for a long time, so I commented it out, and the unattended process seems to work fine. I don't know how people tend to use Unattended, but the following may be of interest for anyone who wants to make it mobile, but hasn't switched to a Linux laptop yet. I've got a mobile setup for taking my WinXP laptop to end user sites and running unattended installations, either via a cross-over cable or by plugging into a local hub/switch. In this scenario, the target system is being configured to use a static IP address, but it could be applicable to DHCP environments too. I'm using a Dell Latitude C840, running Windows XP Pro. I've added a FE575C-3Com 10/100 LAN CardBus-Fast Ethernet so that I can run unattended installs on one interface while still connecting to a network via the other, but this is not a compulsory requirement. The IP address configured on the interface used must obviously be visible to the target system after it has completed the first stage of OS installation, otherwise the target won't be able to map the Z: drive. I'm using the freeware TFTPD32 product as recommended on the Unattended site to host the PXE image. I tried a couple of others, but this is the only one that seems to support the "tsize" option. TFTPD32 has a built-in DHCP server, but this had problems due to the PC making two DHCP requests (one at PXE boot, one when starting TCP services) and would not service the second request. I've opted for the free 5-client version of DHCP Turbo Standard instead. The only scope variable is the bootfile name - pxelinux.0 Since there is no WINS server available, I've primed the net\lmhosts file of the undis3c.img with the IP address of the relevant network interface, by modifying the bootdisk template. However If I need to make changes to the image when away from the office, I can use WinImage. So all I do is plug the second interface of my laptop into the machine to be built via a cross-over cable, or into a switch on a statically addressed network, perform a network boot and that's it - a fully transportable unattended environment. I've managed to have 5 x Windows 2000 servers building off my laptop without noticeably affecting the performance when I'm reading emails and looking at web pages. My admiration for the Unattended system grows daily! Cheers, James Barlow TRL Technology Ltd.

Alternatively (this is how I use it), stick these settings in a separate file called (for example) 1STDC.INF, and use a separate batch file to perform the DC update at an appropriate point in the build process: [createdc.bat] dcpromo /answer:"z:\site\1stdc.inf" [end createdc.bat] [List] Anyone got any ideas on setting an IP Address during the initial unattend boot?

[Unattended] Setting specific IP Address during unattended install
Title: Message I'm using 2.7a to install a group of servers. I've modified the unattend.txt file so that after initial install the servers start with a particular IP addresses, rather than using DHCP. The unattend.txt looks like this: [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=No UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=No IPAddress=10.1.1.1 SubnetMask=255.0.0.0 DefaultGateway=10.1.1.50 WINS=Yes WINSServerList=127.0.0.1 NetBIOSOptions=0 DNSDomain=local.test DNSSuffixSearchOrder=local.test DNSServerSearchOrder=127.0.0.1 Unattend 2.7a seems to choke on the "INFID=*" line in the first section [ Error Unrecognised line: ... IniFile.pm line 78.] Is there a quick fiddle I can perform to make this work? Also, I'd like to be able to leave the IPAddress line blank, and type in a value during the first stage of install. Anyone got any ideas on that? Thanks James Barlow This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.

RE: [Unattended] Show file extensions for known files to all users via registry
Title: Message It's not quite as elegant, but you could make the appropriate changes by logging in as a user, selecting the appropriate options in Windows Explorer, then copying that user's profile to a directory on your unattend share. During build, copy the contents of that directory to c:\documents & settings\default user\ , and all new users will have those settings. I use this for a few related settings where I haven't found time to do things with group policy, scripting or other proper methods JMB -Original Message-From: "Norström, Daniel" [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 July 2003 13:43To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [Unattended] Show file extensions for known files to all users via registry Hi Does anyone know where in registry you can change so all users logging on to the machine will automatically see the file extensions for known files?? I know how to configure for the current user but I can't figure out how to add it to all users. /D This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet. Theservice is powered by MessageLabs.

RE: [Unattended] Using unattend for Windows 2000 Server
Someone with a bit of perl knowledge pointed me toward the correct
place:
We've added a directory in the Z: drive called "2ksvrsp3", and modified
the
sub full_os_name ($) function in install.pl to include an extra elsif
case.
elsif ($stem eq '2ksvr') {
$ret = 'Windows 2000 Server';
}

We're using unattend for installing Windows XP on our internal systems
(very successfully I might add). I've also been experimenting with using
it for Windows 2000 Server installs - I've knocked something together,
but there are a few fiddly bits which are causing me problems.
We are using separate server shares for the Internal Windows XP install
set Windows 2000 Server install set, and use the pxeboot menu to launch
a different boot image hardcoded with the Z: drive mapping depending on
whether we're doing an XP build or a server build. I've been mucking
about with the full_os_name() function to try and get it to output
"Windows 2000 Server" in the list of available systems if it sees a
directory called "2ksvrsp3" in the Z: drive, but I'm not having much
luck (primarily because what I know about Perl could be written on the
back of a matchbox).
