Introduction:

=============



  This document shows you how to unattended install network adapter driver

  under Windows NT 4.0. This is achieved by setting the options in the 

  Unattend.txt file.

  

Contents of the Subdirectory:

=============================



    UNATTEND.TXT        The sample answering file for Windows NT 4.0.    

    UNATDNT4.TXT        This file.

    

Installation:

=============



  The following installation procedures shows how to unattended install 

  Windows NT 4.0 and network adapter driver on multiple computers over a 

  network. Each computers consists one Network Adapter.

        

  1. Create one shared distribution folder; in our example, the shared

     distribution folder is named Z:\UNATDNT4. The shared distribution

     folder resides on the server which the destination computers can

     connect.

     

  2. Copy the \I386 folder from the Windows NT 4.0 Installation CD-ROM to 

     Z:\UNATDNT4. Maintain the same directory structure as on the CD-ROM.

     

  3. NET USE Z:\UNATDNT4\I386

     MKDIR Z:\UNATDNT4\DRIVERS\FETNDIS

    

  4. From Drivers Diskette provided with the adapter,copy all the files

     in \NT40 into Z:\UNATDNT4\DRIVERS\FETNDIS directory and copy Unattend.txt from

     the Diskette into the shared directory Z:\UNATDNT4. Make sure that

     Unattend.txt has the latest changes you made for customizing the unattended

     installation.

     

  5. Make sure that you have a copy of network bootable MS-DOS floppy and 

     the boot the system which you want to unattended install with this floppy 

     and connected to the shared network directory (Z:\UNATDNT4).

     

  6. Run the command as,

     Z:\UNATDNT4\i386\winnt /u:Z:\UNATDNT4\Unattend.txt /s:Z:\UNATDNT4

     

  7. By adopting the above procedure, the setup runs the installation in

     unattended mode and also detects the plug and play network adpaters. All 

     driver files are copied from the shared directory to the target system 

     directories and continues installation of the OS and network adapters 

     without user intervention.
