[Unattended] Unattended and Linux

[Griffin, Jason]

Hi

I currently have Redhat linux kickstart working in my environment and I want to use windows unattended from the same server. At the moment we have a windows boot cd that installs everything that is required for windows via an sccm server. My issue is that I want to put the contents of this cd online and use unattended to boot this directory

I download the bzimage and initrd into an unattended folder on my kickstart server under tftpboot.

I can get the pc to start the remote install in that it gets as far as trying the map the z drive but can't. However I would like it to just kickstart and point towards my custom cd that installs everything. The cd when inserted into a drive runs the following autorun.inf file

[autorun]
open=SMS\bin\i386\TSMBAutorun.exe
label=SCCM
icon=SMS\bin\TaskSqMediaWiz.ico

How can I get unattended to run the above code?

Many Thanks
J

Hi Jason!

Are you sure that the unattended is the best choice for you?
You have a CD (really, it is not a DVD) which contains everything you need
to install "windows" (what windows - XP, Vista, 7 ?). It is install
automatically. What feature of the unattended you need, what could be more
simple and efficient that you already have?
Boot PXE and download a CD, to target - you can boot iso image of your
install CD - http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#ISO_images

Best regards
