I have an unattended install worked out like this:
I used Setup Manager (explode <cdrom>Support\Tools\Deploy.cab from the 2k cdrom to install) to create an answer file.
I'm using a fully automated Windows 2000 professional type installation.
I use the typical TCP/IP settings, change screen res, join the domain etc.
I also have an MST file (Transform) I created with the ORK (office recourse kit) to install Office in quiet (/q) mode after the installation of 2000 is complete.
I'm installing over Windows NT workstation(4), I invoke setup like so:
\\fileserv\software\install\i386 winnt32 /tempdrive:d: /unattend:unattend.txt /syspart:c:
All installs fine, with a few problems.
1. Depending on what type of partitions are setup on the target PC, I get different results in drive letters and partitions. I would like for setup to completely blow away any partitions that are there at install time, and create one big partition on the hard drive. My answer file has this:
[Data]
AutoPartition=1
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"
Repartition=Yes
Any suggestions to make setup blow away the old partition?
2. I want my slick little office setup with the MST to kick off after installation (AND a quiet service pack install) but it seems that they are not kicking off after setup. On second look, I see that when the 2000 setup finishes, it logs on as the LOCAL administrator, who, when trying to connect to the network share to install office, gets a username and password question (which, since no one is there, can answer).
How can I get setup to log in as a different user (besides the local admin account) once it completes?
