Please excuse me for rushing my reply earlier and leaving out practically -all- usefull information.
I'm working on a webinterface for installing multiple OS'es completely unattended (just fill in a webform with stuff like ip and hostname and let the box boot from pxe, sit back and wait for it to say 'done' in the included logging page), the steps i took are mostly found using google. It required a windows environment to create some initial files, but after those are created (or downloaded from someone who did it for you) it runs ok from/with a samba share. If i'm correct i have already supplied the needed batch files in some other post to this list. Please search for it since i do not have access to the files right now. The unattended process: - boot the box from pxe - load some files to start WinPE3 (2 would be ok aswell, but 3 supports Windows 7 aswell), please look at Windows Automated Installation Kit (waik) - contact webinterface for unattended.xml file - download the xml and start setup with the /unattended switch - install some extra tools using unattended.xml's post install section - wait for it to bring up the windows login prompt Maybe i will pack it all up in a VMware image for everyone to play with. If you need any further tips just let me know. regards On Fri, 2009-04-17 at 10:27 +0100, Vincent Hoffman wrote: > On 17/4/09 08:29, Harm wrote: > > in my setup it can be installed completely unattended, though it does > > not take advantage of the todo.pl (which is imo the strength of > > unattended project). > > > > > I dont suppose you could share any tips or details? > > > > regards, > > - Harm > > > > On Thu, 2009-04-16 at 23:12 +0100, Vincent Hoffman wrote: > > > >> I know its a different kettle of fish from 2k/2k3, but is there any work > >> going towards supporting windows 2008 server or any hope for this in the > >> future? > >> I'm due to start playing with and having to roll out windows2008 server > >> in the not too distant future and i've just got to grips with and grow > >> to like unattended for 2k3. > >> > >> Cheers, > >> Vince > >> > >> > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
