Introduction

A "Push", or unattended installation of Windows NT 4.0 provides a means for 
network administrators to easily install Windows NT 4.0 on similarly equipped 
systems. The network administrator can create a bootable diskette that 
automatically logs into a central server and installs the operating system 
from an image of the Windows NT 4.0 installation directory stored on that 
server. 

This document provides instructions for a basic unattended installation of 
Windows NT 4.0 that includes the installation of drivers for the Intel(R) 
PRO/100 and Intel(R) PRO/1000 adapters. 

The elements necessary for the Windows NT 4.0 unattended installation are:

- A Windows NT 4.0 Server with a shared image of the \I386 directory. The 
  \I386 directory contains the Windows NT 4.0 image. 
- An unattended installation configuration file that provides Windows NT 4.0 
  setup with information it needs to complete the installation. The name of 
  this file is UNATTEND.TXT. 
- A DOS boot diskette that contains Microsoft Network Client software for 
  connecting to the remote computer and AutoExec commands to automatically 
  start the Windows NT 4.0 installation.  The AutoExec commands should log
  on to the Windows NT 4.0 Server and invoke the Windows NT setup command
 "w:\I386\WINNT /S:w:\I386 /U:w:\I386\UNATTEND.TXT"  
  Where "w:" is the drive letter mapped by the Network Client software

This document provides instructions for setting up the shared installation 
directory on the remote computer and making changes to the UNATTEND.TXT file.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Setting up an install directory on the file server

1) Create a directory on the remote computer's hard disk for the installation 
   files (EX: "NT40.INS"). Make this directory shared (e.g., with shared 
   name "NT40.INS"). 
2) Create a user (EX: "USERID" with a password "password") and grant read and 
   view rights for the NT40.INS directory. 
3) Use a CD-ROM drive at the remote computer to xcopy the i386 directory with 
   Windows NT 4.0 installation files to the shared directory NT40.INS. Use 
   Windows Explorer or XCOPY /s to preserve the directory structure of the 
   installation files. When the copy is complete, the installation files 
   should reside in the NT40.INS\i386 directory. 
4) Copy the sample UNATTEND.TXT file from the Intel CD to the NT40.INS\i386 
   directory. The sample can be found on the Intel CD in the 
   APPS\SETUP\PUSH\WINNT directory. Modify the installation answer file 
   UNATTEND.TXT as required by your specific system and desired Windows NT 
   configurations. Note that UNATTEND.TXT may be read-only. If so, change 
   the permissions before editing the file so you can write to the file, for 
   example attrib -r unattend.txt. A sample UNATTEND.TXT file with comments 
   is included with this document. At a minimum you should update the items in 
   the [UserData] section.  
5) Change drives to the CD-ROM drive. EX: D:, where D: is the drive letter of 
   the CD-ROM drive. 
6) Change directories to the \APPS\SETUP\PUSH directory on the Intel CD: 
   (CD \APPS\SETUP\PUSH) 
7) Run the PUSHCOPY.BAT file. For example, PUSHCOPY C:\NT40.INS\i386 NT 
   where C:\ and NT40.INS are modified to reflect the remote computer's 
   directory structure.  

This creates the $OEM$ directory structure and copies the necessary files to 
it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Performing the Unattended Installation

Boot up your DOS network client diskette. After connecting to the network:

1) Input a user name when prompted. For example, "UserID". 
2) Input a password when prompted. For example, "password". 
3) After the Windows NT 4.0 installation begins, wait until the copy operation 
   labeled "Setup is copying files..." in the line-drawn characters box appears, 
   then remove the diskette from the drive. This allows the unattended 
   installation to continue after the setup program reboots the system.

For Windows NT, the following are installed:

Adapter drivers 
Intel(R) PROSet II

Directory structure for unattended installation files

The following directory structure is created by PUSHCOPY.BAT. The files are
placed in the correct directory location for the installation of the driver and 
Intel PROSet II. The directory D:\NT40.INS\I386 refers to the location of the 
files copied from the \I386 directory on the Windows NT 4.0 installation CD. 

D:\NT40.INS\I386\$OEM$\NET\PRO100\WINNT4

(From the \PRO100\WINNT4 directory of the Intel CD)

The entire directory structure of the PRO100\WINNT4 subdirectory of the Intel 
CD is copied.

D:\NT40.INF\I386\$OEM$\NET\PRO1000\WINNT4

(From the \PRO1000\WINNT4\DRIVERS directory of the Intel CD)

The entire directory structure of the PRO1000\WINNT4 subdirectory of the Intel 
CD is copied. 

D:\NT40.INF\I386\$OEM$\NET\APPS\PROSET\WINNT4

(From the \APPS\PROSET\WINNT4 directory of the Intel CD)

The entire directory structure of the APPS\PROSET\WINNT4 subdirectory of the Intel 
CD is copied.

Removing unnecessary localized files 

To support a variety of national languages, Intel PROSet II includes a number of 
localized files. During installation, the Operating System's language is 
detected. The installation program selects the files for that language and 
installs them. 

You can reduce the time required for an unattended installation by removing the 
localized files for languages that will not be used. This reduces the number of 
files copied to the target system and speeds up the MSDOS  portion of the 
installation. 

This operation takes place AFTER PushCopy has been run to copy the driver 
installation files to the unattended installation server. There are two steps to 
this process. 

Step 1: Identify the language(s) you wish to install.  

Intel PROSet II supports 15 languages. 

CHS = Chinese Simplified
CHT = Chinese Traditional
DAN = Danish
DEU = German
ENU = English 
ESN = Spanish
FIN = Finnish
FRA = French
ITA = Italian
JPN = Japanese
KOR = Korean
NLD = Dutch
NOR = Norwegian
PTV = Brazilian Portugese
SVE = Swedish 

Select the language(s) you wish to support and note the 3-letter abbreviation 
for the language(s) in the list above. 

Step 2: Remove the languages you do not need from the installation image. 

a) Using File Manager on the Unattended Installation Server, navigate to the 
   i386\$OEM$\NET directory in the unattended installation image. 
b) Navigate to the APPS\PROSET\WINNT4\NMS\IA32 directory and use File Manager to delete the 
   language folders you do not need. 
c) Navigate to the APPS\PROSET\WINNT4\PROSET2\IA32 directory and use File Manager to delete 
   the language folders you do not need. 
d) After this operation is complete, the unattended installation requires less 
   time since fewer files are copied from the installation server to the target 
   system.
