Hi all,

Please forgive this Noob his possibly dumb question:

How does one bypass the message "Windows Setup will reboot in 15 seconds..." (blah blah)...?

I'd like to just have it shut up and reboot now. =)

Thanks.

If u use Winnt.sif, it will reboot automatically w/o waiting for 15s

Ok, yes I see that now. I'm still learning this thing. Thanks.

To skip the 15 secs waiting period, then the following entry needs to be specified in winnt.sif, but it only works for XP and not Win2k:

CODE

[Unattended]
WaitForReboot="No"

Ahh cool thanks. That's a good little tidbit.
