You could include the drivers in the install cd, just like sp4. That would save you the trouble of doing it manually. Check google for how to do that.

I did that with my OfficeXP install point. I'd probably do it if I could come up with a simple way to install off of the network. But since I run no windows servers this is a very large can of worms. It's not like I'm doing many installs. I may check it out again just to burn an install CD that stops fewer times. No matter what I do there is a certain degree of problems: These new laptops use broadcom ethernet chips, which is not supported on the win2k install disk, nor on SP4. They are available on the vendor's web site. Similarly with audio and video chipsets. But they can be handled with wpkg. The network driver has to be hand loaded from a USB flash drive. Full unattended installs appear to be a real rats nest. In my lab I use Drive Image. Do one machine by hand, image it, and then clone to the rest. This works because the hardware is nearly identical. I don't care if they have the same SID, the only local account is the local administrator account. And I've got a script that changes the computername to whatever the IP reverse maps to. My reading of the completely unattended installs is that you have to have an answer file that is non-trivial to generate and debug; Thanks for all your help. I got 7 packages working this afternoon, one way or another: IE6sp1 upgrade Win2K SP4 upgrade scripten install Audio chipset support Video chipset support Intel general chipset support Office XP install ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
