Unattended Installation

[titresfct]

Here is the situation.

I am re-configuring 120 workstations, all different models with different hardware. It is a production environnement that requires some tweaking of individual workstations. To save a bit of time i have tried to perform unattended installations but it always fails.

The systems are w2k and are reconfigured to be w2k in french. I am doing clean instals (deleting existing partitions and reformatting the new partition in NTFS).

Here is my unattend.sif file:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
AutoPartition=1
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=No
TargetPath=\WINNT

[GuiUnattended]

OEMSkipRegional=1
TimeZone=35
OemSkipWelcome=1

thanks for any and every suggestions.

Are you trying to do an Unattended installation from the CD? If so, your unattended installation file must be called Winnt.sif.

Yes an unatteded installation from the CD. And the file is named winnt.sif (made a mistake on my post).

At different places on different installs. Most of the times it fails at the regional settings.
