AutoPartition= on RIS

[LaforcE]

Hi guyz.

Hi have a RIS server and did some "unatend.sif" . In fact, I want two things:

- That before the setup the installer ask me on wich partions I want to setup Windows (Or let me customze it in the .sif like partition the drive with a 10Gig partion and install Windows on it, not the full disk, but I haven't find any option to do so) ...

I put these lines and the RIS didn't seems to take them ...

[Data]
AutoPartition=0

- I also want to setup to NOT ADD the machine into the Domain!! I want it in a Workgroup.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks again guyz!!

Those are easy entries if the sif settings are like a standard unattend. Here is what I use to accomplish this (I think..my build is at work and I cant verify 100% until I get back tomorrow morning.)

[Data]
AutoPartition=0

[Unattended]
FileSystem=*
Repartition=No
ExtendOemPartition=0

In a RIS install, you may need to try:

[RemoteInstall]
Repartition=No
UseWholeDisk=No

I dont know if you can combine any of these or just use the unattend ones.



Here are some links to some ESSENTIAL unattend building tools:

All of these tools are great. I dont know what features they have solely for RIS, but they are LOADED with unattend stuff.

Nop

The RIS just seems to ignore those parameter, format and partition the drive the way he want to (One big partion using the full disk) ...
