Windows 95 Push Installation with Microsoft Client                   v.03

Files Used
----------
PUSH\NETJ3171.INF        INF install file for the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter driver
PUSH\MSBATCH.INF         INF configuration file used for PUSH install

Overview
--------
This process requires advanced network administration skills. You should be
thoroughly familiar with Windows 95 setup procedures in a network environment 
prior to performing the push installation.

These files are sample configuration files that allow a basic
Windows 95 unattended push installation using the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN 
Adapter with the NDIS3 miniport driver.  The push installation allows 
Windows 95 to be installed from a Network server.  This assumes that the 
Windows 95 source files have been copied to the server using the NETSETUP.EXE 
utility.  For more information on NETSETUP.EXE see the Windows 95 
Resource Kit, Chapter 4.


General Instructions
--------------------

1. Integrate the above NETJ3171.INF to your Windows 95 source files on the server. 
   Replace the NETJ3171.INF file on the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter
   Configuration and Driver disk with the NETJ3171.INF file included in
   this archive (you may want to rename the original NETJ3171.INF to save it)
   Run the INFINST.EXE utility.  When asked for an INF file, insert the HP 
   10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter Driver Diskette and point to the
   NETJ3171.INF. This process integrates the HP 10/100TX  driver files into
   the Windows 95 source on the server.  For more information on the INFINST.EXE
   utility  see Chapter 5 of the Windows 95 Resource Kit.

2. Go to the root directory where the Windows 95 source files reside, 
   and rename the existing MSBATCH.INF to MSBATCH.BAK. Copy the
   MSBATCH.INF located in this archive (PUSH\MSBATCH.INF) to the root directory
   of the Windows 95 source on the server.  When you run SETUP,  it will use
   this MSBATCH to control the setup.

3. Once you have a basic push install then modify the MSBATCH.INF as
   you desire. For more information on MSBATCH please see the Microsoft
   Resource Kit, Chapter 5 and Appendix D.

Windows 95 Push Installation with Novell's Client 32   

Files used
----------
PUSHCL32\NETJ3171.INF     INF install file for the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter driver
PUSHCL32\MSBATCH.INF      INF configuration file used for PUSH install
PUSHCL32\FIXCL32.EXE      Executable for Client 32 fix

Overview
--------
These files address a problem in the Novell Client 32 installation. This
fix keeps the entire push installation fully automated.

This assumes that the server has been setup for Windows 95 push installation
and the Novell Client 32 installation files has been integrated into the
base Windows 95 push installation files on the server. (See Novell Technical
document TID2905964 for more information). This routine will ensure that
the registry entry STATICVXD=NWLINK2.VXD is set correctly to allow
the HP 10/100TX  Windows 95 workstation running Client 32 to attach to 
NetWare server.

With out this patch the registry entry will be set to STATICVXD=NWLINK.VXD
which will prevent the workstation from attaching to a NetWare server.


General Instructions
--------------------

1. Add/Merge the lines below to your MSBATCH.INF.

[Install]
addReg=fixcl32.Reg

[fixcl32.Reg]
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce,,,"FIXCL32.EXE"


NOTE: We recommend using the example MSBATCH.INF included in the archive.
      It's been modified specifically for the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter.


2. Add/Merge the lines below to the push install version of NETJ3171.INF

[PCIhptx.ndi]
CopyFiles=fixcl32.install

[fixcl32.install]
fixcl32.exe

[DestinationDirs]
fixcl32.install=10

NOTE: The sample NETJ3171.INF in this archive has incorporated these changes.


3. Integrate the above NETJ3171.INF to your Windows 95 source files on the server. 
   Replace the NETJ3171.INF file on the HP 10/100TX PCI LAN Adapter 
   Configuration and Driver disk with the NETJ3171.INF file included in
   this archive (you may want to rename the original NETJ3171.INF to save it)
   Run INFINST.EXE.  When asked for an INF file, insert the HP 10/100TX PCI
   LAN Adapter Configuration and Driver disk and point to the NETJ3171.INF.
   For more information on the INFINST.EXE utility, see Chapter 5 of the
   Windows 95 Resource Kit
   

4. Copy the FIXCL32.EXE file to your server Windows 95 installation directory.
   (Ex. Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95 and Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95\SYSTEM)

5. Update LAYOUT.INF to tell Windows 95 Setup the location
   of FIXCL32.EXE to automate this. The line in LAYOUT.INF for FIXCL32.EXE 
   should look like this:
   
	FIXCL32.EXE=1,,11

   Update all 3 LAYOUT.INF locations:
   (ex. Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95, Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95\SYSTEM, Z:\PUBLIC\WIN95\SUWIN)


NOTE: Currently, the Windows 95 Push installation with Novell Client 32 will
      only work using the NDIS driver.


=============================================================================
Additional Information

If you have devices on your system that Windows 95 is being installed on,
such as a sound card or CD ROM, it may be necessary to ensure that
Windows 95 scans for these devices and pushes them before the first reboot.
This can be done by using a SETUP.EXE command with the /p c option for class
detection or /p c- to disable safe class detection and do the most complete
examination. For more information about setup switches see the Microsoft
document Q-128400, Windows 95 Setup Switches.

Example: SETUP /p c
This switch enables class detection. Class detection is a mechanism
for finding hints for a certain class of devices. For example, adapter
class detection looks for hints in the config.sys and system.ini files
for CD-ROM drivers. If it does not find any, Setup displays a CD-ROM
check box asking if you have a CD-ROM drive.

The default during Setup is enabled. The default when you use the
Add New Hardware tool and docking/undocking detection is disabled.

Example: setup /p c-
Setup /p c- disables safe class detection. For example, this switch
tells Setup to always search on all network adapter cards, sound
cards, and CD-ROM drives.
