Unattended SP2 CD Install 2

[Carboloy]

I had been working on an unattended CD install of SP2. The main goal is to have SP2 install with all pre-defined settings. I have most of them down by modifying the netfw.inf, however there is one I can't seem to find. How do I turn off automatic updates and how do I disable the security center from popping up after a reboot? Any help would be appreciated!

First, make sure you use the new SP2 deployment tools instead of the original set.

Second, all of your questions above can be answered on this page:

Thanks for the reply. However, this site looks geared more towards creating a CD that will be used to do a clean install of XP with SP2 included. We already have PC's with XP SP1, this will be a CD used just to upgrade their service pack.

1. Use the /norestart switch on the command line for XPsp2.exe along with /quiet or other options you may have chosen.

2. Now open notepad, and copy/paste what you need below. Save as sp2_fixes.reg :

****** start copy/paste below this line
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Disable Anti-virus Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

;Disable Firewall Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

;Disable Automatic Updates Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

;Override Antivirus - turns of sp2 firewall
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000001

;Override Windows Firewall - turns off sp2 firewall
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"FirewallOverride"=dword:00000001

;Disable Security Center - completely disables it
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004

********* end copy/paste above this line

3. Then start the upgrade with a .cmd file

rem Do the sp2 upgrade
path:xpsp2.exe /norestart /quiet && anything else

rem Do the fixes
regedit /s path: sp2_fixes.reg

4. Or, you can add to your netw.inf file, as it does not really care what registry entries are added. For a non-domain use:

Any of the entries above can be added to this section:
[ICF.AddReg.StandardProfile]

You just have to translate the regedit form. For example, above I have:
;Disable Anti-virus Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

In the netw.inf format this same registry entry would become:
;Disable Anti-virus Notifications
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center","AntiVirusDisableNotify",0x00000001,0

I will leave it to you to translate what you may wish to have as settings.
