ConfirmHardware In an Unattend.txt File Appears Not to Work (168709)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q168709 SYMPTOMS
During an unattended installation of Windows NT 4.0 with the
ConfirmHardware option set at Yes, Windows NT 4.0 may not prompt you to
confirm the hardware settings.
For example:
[Unattended]
ConfirmHardware = yes
NtUpgrade = no
Win31Upgrade = no
TargetPath = "\winnt"
OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = no
OemPreinstall = yes
FileSystem = LeaveAlone
ExtendOEMPartition = 0
NoWaitAfterTextmode = 1
NoWaitAfterGuiMode = 1
.
.
.
RESOLUTION
This problem will occur if the OemPreinstall = Yes. In order to use the
ConfirmHardware option, the OemPreinstall entry must be set to no.
NOTE: If you do set the OemPreinstall option at no, keep in mind that setup
will no longer use the $OEM$ directory or Cmdlines.txt file.
[Unattended]
ConfirmHardware = yes
NtUpgrade = no
Win31Upgrade = no
TargetPath = "\winnt"
OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = no
OemPreinstall = no
FileSystem = LeaveAlone
ExtendOEMPartition = 0
NoWaitAfterTextmode = 1
NoWaitAfterGuiMode = 1
.
.
.
