Unattended Installation for Windows NT 4.0

This procedure describes how to install Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with the
CardBus PC Cards. See the Microsoft Web site for more information and other
methods. The unattended installation can be performed either on a local hard
disk or an NT server.

Requirements

·  Windows NT 4.0 Workstation CD or source files from the i386 directory
·  NT server to attach to if installing with the server install method
·  DOS client bootable diskette if installing with the server install method

Installing from your Local Hard Disk

1. Boot the notebook using a floppy diskette. 
2. Load HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE, and SMARTDRV.EXE.  Loading these files makes the 
   installation proceed much faster.  
3. Change the current directory to \I386 on the installation media. 

Creating a general installion from an NT Server

1. Make sure that you have the proper rights to access the NT server.  You need
   permissions to create directories and copy files to the NT server.

2. Copy the i386 directory from the NT CD to a shared directory on the NT server.
   Make sure that the folder is shared and you are given full access to the folder.

3. When connecting to a domain, it is recommended that a system administrator
   create a computer account before installation


Creating a specific Windows NT 4 Workstation Installation for the 3C575

1. If you are installing from a CD, copy the NT source files to the local hard
   drive (ex: c:\i386) or to the server (in the shared folder).

2. In the DRVLIB.NIC folder in the directory where the NT source files were
   copied, create the following directory: FE575.  For example:

	CD I386
        CD DRVLIB.NIC
        MD FE575

3. Copy the following files to the directory I386\DRVLIB.NIC\FE575 created in
   step 2.  The following files are located on the root of the LAN Installation
   Disk:

	OEMSETUP.INF
	ELPC575.DL_
	EL575ND4.SYS
	EL575ND3.SYS
	TC575NDI.DL_
	UN3C575.EX_

Note: Copy ELPC575A.DL_ also if you are installing any 3C575B NICs.


4. Create an answer file (UNATTEND.TXT) and copy it to the i386 directory.  Your
   answer file must contain the following entries:
    
   [Unattended]
   TargetPath = WINNT
   OemPreinstall = no
   ConfirmHardware = no
   NtUpgrade = no
   Win31Upgrade = no
   OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = no

   [UserData]
   FullName = "Unattended User" ;Insert your USER NAME
   OrgName = "Unattended 3Com" ;Insert your ORGANIZATION NAME
   ;
   ; Please Specify your computer name and OS product ID
   ;
   ComputerName = "?????"
   ProductID = "?????-???????"

   [GuiUnattended]
   TimeZone = "(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana"

   [Display]
   ConfigureAtLogon = 0
   BitsPerPel = 16
   XResolution = 640
   YResolution = 480
   VRefresh = 70
   AutoConfirm = 1

   [Network]
   ;
   ; Please use JoinDomain = DOMAIN for DOMAIN unattended
   ; installation 
   ;
   ; Please use JoinWorkgroup = WORKGROUP for WORKGROUP
   ; unattended installation 
   ;
   JoinWorkgroup = WORKGROUP
   InstallAdapters = AdaptersList
   InstallProtocols = Protocols
   InstallServices = Services
   ;CreateComputerAccount = Administrator, Password
   ;As explained in the Deploying Windows NT Guide, it is recommended
   ;That the Administrator add the computer accounts before doing installations
   ;instead of using the CreateComputerAccount parameter.

   [AdaptersList]
   Elpc575 = ELPC575params, c:\$win_nt$.~ls\i386\drvlib.nic\fe575\

   [Protocols]
   NBF = NetBeuiParams 
   NWLNKIPX = NWLNKIPXParams

   [NWLNKIPXParams]

   [ELPC575params]
   AdapterType = 0
   BusNumber = 0
   BusType = 1
   DriverMode = 1
   InterruptNumber =  10
   IoBaseAddress = 4096
   ; Value above means 0x1000
   IoLength = 127
   ; Value above means 0x7f
   MediaType = 1
   MemoryMappedBaseAddress = 851968
   ; value above means 0xD0000
   MemoryMappedSize = 4096
   ; value above means 0x1000

   AutoPolarity = 0
   OSType = 1
   PCMCIA = 0
   SocketNumber = 0
   TransmitBufferSize = 7168
   ; value above means 0x1c00

   [Services]
   NWWKSTA = NWWKSTAParams

   [NWWKSTAParams]
   !DefaultScriptOptions = 0

5. Copy your answer file into the i386 directory of your NT CD image on the NT
   server, or on the local hard drive for the local install method.

6. For the local install method, skip to step 8.  For the server install method,
   continue with step 7.

7. For the server install method, please do the following:
   a. Create a DOS bootable floppy diskette that will connect you to the NT; it
      is not necessary to attach to a server for the local install method.  You
      can create the NT DOS Client Boot Disk on the NT Server by running the
      NETWORK CLIENT ADMINISTRATOR utility.
   b. Boot your notebook with the NT DOS Client Boot Disk you created in step 7.a.
      above to connect to the NT server.
   c. Map a drive to the I386 directory. For example, type:	

      net use Z: \\NTSERVER\I386

8. Remove any diskettes from the floppy drive.

9. Change directory to the location of the i386 files.  For example: C:\i386 for
   a local installation and Z:\ for a network installation (if that is the drive
   letter mapped to the shared directory where the i386 files reside.)

10. Launch the unattended installation using the following syntax:

WINNT  /B /S:(path to I386 files) /U:UNATTEND.TXT

     /B	-signifies a diskless installation
     /S	-designates the location of the NT source files
     /U	-designates the unattended mode of installation and specifies the path to
         the answer file.

Example of the install line for a local installation:

     WINNT  /B /S:C:\i386 /U:UNATTEND.TXT

Example of the install line for a network installation:

     WINNT  /B /S:Z:\ /U:UNATTEND.TXT
