Hi everyone,

I want to be able to script the basics of a server 2008 installation, the following constants I need in the script are as follows;

1) Partition sizes of OS install, 80gb for OS.
2) DCPROMO automated install (default directories are okay)
3) DNS forward and reverse lookup zones with IPs set.
4) Authorise DHCP server. DHCP scopes and ranges binded to NIC. Disable DHCP IPv6 Stateless mode.
5) NIC addresses for static, subnet, default gateway, primary and secondary DNS addresses.
6) Network discovery visible to all networks
7) Fixed value for directory mode and log files for dcpromo setup
8) Install all Windows updates and patches
9) Install Print server role
10) Install File Server, File Server Resources Manager, Windows shared storage;



The variables I need are as follows;

1) Renaming Administrator account
2) Setting a password for renamed Administrator account
3) Renaming Computer account.

If I manage to complete at least some of this where would this script be placed and how would it be accessed by the remote server to be installed?


Any help on this or what language I should start with in any direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Drakul.
