[Resolved] Install rebooting after network setup.Around T-30

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 = INSTALL
FullName = "NAME"
OrgName = "OrgName"
Language = Français (France)
Locale = Français (France)
Keyboard = Fran‡ais
DomainAdmin =
DomainPass =
JoinDomain =
JoinWorkgroup = WORKGROUP

Every 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

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)
