gilles_gros Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hi,I bumped into a problem an after quite a time spend investigating, I finally got the solution that I want to share.I setup a nLite CD with the following parameters as unattented parameters : ;; nLite unattended settings; (don't post it on the net, it's not important for debugging)AdminPassword = "admin"CDKey = "you don't need to know that"ComputerName = INSTALLFullName = "NAME"OrgName = "OrgName"Language = Français (France)Locale = Français (France)Keyboard = Fran‡aisDomainAdmin = DomainPass = JoinDomain = JoinWorkgroup = WORKGROUPEvery run fine, until I tested it in VirtualPC. Around T-30 minutes, just after network setup, the Computer reboots, restarting the installation.This is beacuse I do have, on my network, another computer that has the same "ComputerName".Based on that, my advice would be not to set "ComputerName" on an unattented setup.Hope it helps someone.Gilles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks, nice info, who would tell...also this would be good to report to MS, but don't mention nLite, pretend that you're just using unattended options, which is true in a way.

taltamir Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 (edited) I have been putting in the computer name in my nlite discs and have successfully installed extra computers with the same name as a computer on the network. Then after I log in for the first time I change the name. (although normally i just make a new custom disc for every installation using the latest nlite version and its unique computer name) Edited September 15, 2006 by taltamir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
