Unattended installation Windows2000 Full Raiders

With the current decline in computer hardware, individuals can also have computers that previously appeared to be high-performance and highly configurable, and Windows 2000 is no longer a dream to play on PCs. So, we are no longer sentimentally attached to Windows 9X, nor are we satisfied with Windows ME, our goal is the Windows 2000 family family. Perhaps you've benefited from the convenience of Microsoft Batch 98 automatic installation of Windows 98, and today's more powerful Windows 2000 unattended installation will be your right-hand man----to know that Windows 2000 is typically installed more often than Windows 9x is more than a few hours. The following is an example of Windows Advance Server, detailing how to set up to use its unattended installation (which also applies to its Family series Windows Professional, Windows Server or Windows Watts Datacenter Server).

Unattended Setup simplifies the process of installing Windows 2000 on multiple computers, and to do this, you need to create and use an answer file, a custom script that automatically answers installation questions. Then run Setup from the command line with the appropriate unattended setup option. Of course, to make the installer run automatically, if you set the power-on password in CMOS, you should cancel the setting first. The commands used to start an unattended installation are the same as those for an interactive installation.

To start an unattended installation on a computer running MS-DOS or Windows 3.x, use:

Winnt/u:/s:/t:

To start an unattended installation on a computer running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, or Windows 98, use:

Winnt32/unattend:/s: [/syspart:] [/tempdrive:]

Winnt.exe and Winnt32.exe are in the i386 directory of the Windows 2000 installation CD. Where answer file is the answer file name, typically the Unattend.txt,install source is the installation file sources path, and Target drive is the destination disk. The Syspart parameter copies all the boot files to the destination disk and activates them; the tempdrive parameter copies all the installation files to a temporary folder on the destination disk, and if there is no disk space left in the installation, allow the user to select another folder and continue the installation. If you want to install the system under the default C disk, you can omit the Syspart and tempdrive parameters. To install Windows 2000 on a multiple-partition hard disk, to ensure that the system is installed on the specified target disk, it is best to specify the target partition with the parameter/T or/tempdrive. To complete an unattended installation, you need at least the following options and key name values:

[Unattended]
　　 UnattendMode = FullUnattended
　　 TargetPath = WINNT
　　 [UserData]
　　 ComputerName = "COMPUTER_NAME"
　　 FullName = "Your User Name"
　　 [GuiUnattended]
　　 AdminPassword = *
　　 TimeZone = "210"
　　 [LicenseFilePrintData]
　　 AutoMode = "PerServer"
　　 AutoUsers = "5"
　　 [Networking]
　　 [Identification]
　　 JoinWorkgroup = Workgroup

In the unattended option:

Key Name: UnattendMode

Key value: guiattended | Providedefault | Defaulthide | ReadOnly | FullUnattended

"Providedefault" mode is "provide default" mode, indicating that the answer provided in the answer is the default answer, the installer will prompt the user to review these answers, users can modify; "fullunattended" mode is "fully automatic" mode, The installer does not prompt the user to make any answer, and the user needs to provide all the answers required in the answer file; "ReadOnly" mode is "read Only" mode, and if the user can see the Installation Wizard page, it cannot be modified.

Key Name: TargetPath

Key value: * |

Indicates the system installation directory name, usually Winnt, if this directory already exists, the system is installed in Winnt.x (x 0,1,..., 999) directory, directory name cannot contain drive letter, if you want to indicate the destination letter, use Winnt32.exe/ The/t parameter of the tempdrive or Winnt.exe.

Key Name: ComputerType
