Hi guys,
I have been working closely with nob1983 with my windows 7 conversion and so far everything has worked great except for a few things. I cant thank him enough for the help he has given me. Awesome guy! I learned a ton because of him. Im sure nob1983 has other things to do, so i figured i would post and get other peoples feed back and give him a bit of a break :) (im sure he is tired of my emails lol )
So, the issues that remain are the following:
1. My base image has only the Novell client installed. Because of this it breaks the auto login i have setup in my unattend.xml file. I get an error everytime just before the login window pops up that says "local user account is invalid". I click ok then i can login manually as administrator and the rest the boot process can continue. nob1983 mentioned something about installing the novell client using a response file, but i havent been able to find anything about this online. I did however find that it is possible to setup an unattend install for novell client 2 which i found here Silent/Unattended Uninstall the Novell Client for Windows « 33
If it is something as simple as setting up my unattend.txt file then setting up another powershell script that installs the novell client before my zcm11 agent then im all for it, i would just need help writing such a script. If any one can suggest a script to use in conjunction with the powershell scripts i pasted below, please share.
2. I have had no luck getting my image to successfully join our Workgroup. I have tried all of the following lines in my unattend.xml file but with no success. Can anyone shed some light as to what im doing wrong with this?
<JoinWorkgroup>LIFESPACE</JoinWorkgroup>
<JoinWorkgroup>%LIFESPACE%</JoinWorkgroup>
<JoinWorkgroup>%Please select a workgroup{LIFESPACE}%</JoinWorkgroup>
3. On the first full boot to the desktop, The network location windows opens asking if the computer is connected to a Home, Work, or Other network even though i have this in my unattend.xml file
<OOBE>
<HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
<NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation>
<ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC>
</OOBE>
any ideas?
Please let me know what you guys think. any help is much appreciated.
Pasted below is my fulll unattend.xml file and below that are the scripts i use for my add-on images for driver installs and zcm agent install. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!
