$oem$\$1
. .
. .
. .
This folder is equivalent to the %systemdrive% environment variable. For example, if the
. .
. .
operating system is installed on drive C, \$oem$\$1 would refer back to drive C. The use of this
. .
variable makes it possible to rearrange drive letters without creating errors in applications that
. .
. .
point to a hard-coded drive letter.
. .
. .
$oem$\$1\PnPdrvrs
. .
. .
. .
This folder contains additional Plug and Play drivers not included with the Windows 2000
. .
Professional retail CD. The PnPdrvrs name can be replaced by any eight-character or less name.
. .
. .
. .
. .
NOTE: The $oem$\$1\PnPdrvrs folder replaces the \DISPLAY and \NET folders used in the
. .
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 distribution share installation.
. .
. .
. .
. .
$oem$\drive_letter
. .
. .
. .
This directory contains a subdirectory structure that is copied during Text Mode Setup to the root
. .
of the corresponding drive in the target computer. Any subdirectory of this directory will be copied
. .
. .
to the local (destination) hard drive and will remain there following the setup process.
. .
. .
. .
Using an Answer File (UNATTEND.TXT)
. .
. .
Answer files are text files that automate user responses to questions during the installation process.
. .
. .
The answer file is specified with the /U:<answer file> option with the winnt or winnt32
. .
command. Any legal file name can be used for an answer file in place of UNATTEND.TXT. An
. .
. .
answer file can be created by editing a copy of the UNATTEND.TXT included on both the
. .
Windows 2000 Professional CD and the Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit. Refer to the
. .
. .
Resource Kit for more information on creating an answer file.
. .
. .
. .
Using CMDLINES.TXT
. .
. .
This file resides in the $OEM$ directory and is used for installing files included in the $OEM$
. .
. .
subdirectories, including those directories copied down to the local hard drive. By listing the
. .
installation command within the CMDLINES.TXT file, the files will get installed automatically at
. .
. .
the end of the Setup process. IMPORTANT: The installation command must be surrounded by
. .
double quotation marks. ALL machines using the distribution share will execute any command
. .
. .
entered in this file, even if the command doesn't apply for a particular system (i.e., installing a
. .
video driver).
