Hey All, Admittedly I haven't worked seriously on unattended since I got it up and running about 5 years ago. It just works I had to move from some form of dos for the boot-loader to linux to accommodate a larger image size but that was years ago.

Streamline isn't really an implementation detail it may be more of a process and ones concept of streamlined could easily be another person's idea of broken. > > #################### > =================== > #################### > > 1___________________ > Current script file; > > CHOICE /C:YN /T:N,5 Override bootdisk defaults (if unsure, say yes) > if errorlevel 2 goto gotcreds > echo Enter location of install share (default %Z_PATH%): > nset INPUT=$0 > if not %INPUT%. == . set Z_PATH=%INPUT% > echo Enter username for mapping install share (default %Z_USER%): > nset INPUT=$0 > if not %INPUT%. == . set Z_USER=%INPUT% > echo Enter password for mapping install share (default %Z_PASS%): > nset INPUT=$0 > if not %INPUT%. == . set Z_PASS=%INPUT% > set INPUT= > > 2_______________________ > Streamlined script file; > > CHOICE /C:YNX /T:N /X:P,5 Override bootdisk defaults (if unsure, > say yes) > # Note: This should make the when typing X, it should go to FreeDOS > prompt. > > Computer_Name= > Server_Name= > Share_Name= > User_Name= > Password= > ######################### > # All others under here # > ######################### > > 1_______________ > Current prompts; > > Override bootdisk defaults (if unsure, say yes) Y/N: > Enter location of install share: > Enter username for mapping install share: > Enter password for mapping install share: > > 2______________________ > Fully Featured prompts; > > Override bootdisk defaults (if unsure, say yes) Y/N/X: > Please enter computer name: # > Please enter Server name: # > Please enter Share name: # > Please enter User name: # > Please enter Password: # > Confirm Password: # > > #################### > ==================== > #################### > > Please try and streamline your project in the aforementioned way. I don't understand what you are saying or how it may effect my environment if at all. I do networking booting of all my managed clients and never enter any of that info. If you could please elaborate on what is going on that would be great. Things I would like to see is a definition of the problem, description of how the changes proposed fix the problem, and finally other effected areas that may be effected.
