Unattended Setup Environment
. .
. .
. .
To install Windows 2000 Professional on multiple computers across a network, a Distribution
. .
Share directory needs to be created. Distribution directories are the central location of all files
. .
. .
needed for a network install, including all Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) additions.
. .
Following is an example of the directory structure of a Distribution Share:
. .
. .
. .
\I386
. .
\$oem$
. .
. .
\Textmode
. .
\$$
. .
\$1
. .
. .
\$1\Pnpdvrs
. .
\drive_letter
. .
. .
. .
Distribution Directory Structure
. .
. .
$oem$
. .
. .
. .
This directory contains the subdirectories needed to support an unattended installation of
. .
. .
applications, drivers, etc. not included on the Windows 2000 Professional retail CD. This directory
. .
can also include the optional file CMDLINES.TXT, which contains a list of commands to be run
. .
. .
during GUI Mode Setup. (Refer to the Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit for detailed
. .
information).
. .
. .
. . $oem$\Textmode
. .
. .
This directory contains the hardware-dependent files that Setup Loader and text-mode Setup install
. .
. .
on the destination computer during the Text Mode portion of the Windows 2000 Professional
. .
. . install. The files for SCSI, Keyboard, Video or Pointing Device Drivers or HALs that are not
. .
included with Windows 2000 Professional retail version must appear in this directory. This
. .
. . directory should also contain a standard TXTSETUP.OEM file. This file contains pointers to all
. .
the files required to install these components. Only one TXTSETUP.OEM file can exist in this
. .
. . directory.
. .
. .
. .
NOTE: TXTSETUP.OEM and all files listed in it (HALs and drivers) must also be listed in the
. .
[OEMBootFiles] section of the UNATTEND.TXT file.
. .
. .
. .
. .
$oem$\$$
. .
. .
. .
This directory contains the system files, either new or replacements for retail files, that are copied
. .
to the various subdirectories when Windows 2000 Professional is installed. The structure of this
. .
. .
directory must match the structure of a standard Windows 2000 Professional installation, where
. .
. . \$oem$\$$ matches \%Windir%, \$oem$\$$\System32 matches \%Windir%\System32, and so on.
. .
For example:
. .
. .
. .
\I386\$oem$\$$\system32\drivers\myscsi.sys
. .
. .
would be copied to:
. .
. .
. .
Winnt\system32\drivers\myscsi.sys
. .
