Hi,

I'm trying to do an unattended fully automated upgrade from Win98 to Win2k pro.

I have created the unattend.txt file..

(; are comment lines - ignored)

;[Data]
;Unattendedinstall = Yes
; Msdosinitiated = "0"

[Unattended]
Unattendmode = FullUnattended
TargetPath = WINNT
Filesystem = ConvertNTFS
OemPreinstall = Yes
OemSkipEula = Yes
NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1
NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1
NtUpgrade = Yes
OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = Yes

[UserData]
ProductId = "nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn"

[GuiUnattended]
OemSkipWelcome = 1
AdminPassword = nnn
AutoLogon = Yes
AutoLogonCount = 1

[Identification]
JoinDomain = GTC
DomainAdmin = nnn
DomainAdminPassword = nnn

This does a perfect new installation - until it needs a computer name :-(

I have tried the recommended setupmgr utility on the w2k CD - but this does not offer an upgrade option - dispite the documentation saying that it does.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks as usual

Martyn
 
Cracked it...

The problem was
NtUpgrade = Yes

should be Win9xUpgrade = Yes

obvious really.... ;-)
