DOCUMENT:Q142160 08-AUG-2001 [winnt] TITLE :How to Automate FTP Installation PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER::3.5,3.51 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsetup ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51 - Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51 - MSPRESS Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit, version 3.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= When you run Unattended or Computer Profile Setup (CPS), the FTP Server service is not installed to target computers (by default). However, you can accomplish automated installation of the FTP Server service by modifying setup files. MORE INFORMATION ================ WARNING: Modification of INF files may cause serious, system-wide problems before and after Setup and may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the modification of INF files can be solved. Make INF modifications at your own risk. Corporate Network Systems does not support the modification of INF files. For more information on INF files, refer to the Programmer's Guide included in the Windows NT DDK or contact Microsoft Consulting Services or a Solution Provider. Computer Profile Setup ---------------------- On the distribution server, make these necessary modifications: 1. In the Defaults.inf file, change the fifth parameter of !TCPIpServiceMask in the [TCPIPServices] section to 1. [TCPIPServices] !TcpIpServiceMask = {"1","1","0","0","1","0","0","0"} 2. (Optional) Modify the script fragment in Oemnsvft.inf so that the FTP installation confirmation dialog box does not display. Code fragment before modification: installadapter = + OpenRegKey $(!REG_H_LOCAL) "" $(TCPIPKeyName) $(MAXIMUM_ALLOWED) TCPIPKey Ifstr $(TCPIPKey) == $(KeyNull) set RegistryErrorIndex = TCPIP_NONEXIST_ERROR_FTPD goto fatalregistry endif CloseRegKey $(TCPIPKey) set FLibraryErrCtl = 1 LibraryProcedure ResultList, $(!TCPCFG_HANDLE), CPlFtpdConfirmInstall, $(!STF_HWND) Set Result = *($(ResultList),1) Code fragment after modification: installadapter = + OpenRegKey $(!REG_H_LOCAL) "" $(TCPIPKeyName) $(MAXIMUM_ALLOWED) TCPIPKey Ifstr $(TCPIPKey) == $(KeyNull) set RegistryErrorIndex = TCPIP_NONEXIST_ERROR_FTPD goto fatalregistry endif CloseRegKey $(TCPIPKey) set FLibraryErrCtl = 1 ;; Following lines added for CPS or Unattended Setup ifstr(i) $(!STF_GUI_UNATTENDED) == "YES" Set Result = 0 else LibraryProcedure ResultList, $(!TCPCFG_HANDLE), CPlFtpdConfirmInstall, $(!STF_HWND) Set Result = *($(ResultList),1) endif 3. (Optional) Modify the script fragment in Oemnsvft.inf so that the FTP Service dialog box does not display. With this modification, Setup does not give you a chance to configure the FTP service and you have to accept the default values. Code fragment before modification: Ifstr(i) $(RegistryErrorIndex) != NO_ERROR EndWait Debug-Output "Resgitry error: add value list." CloseRegKey $(KeySrvMgrExt) goto fatalregistry endif endif EndWait set FLibraryErrCtl = 1 LibraryProcedure ResultList, $(!TCPCFG_HANDLE), CPlFtpd, $(!STF_HWND) Set Result = *($(ResultList),1) Code fragment after modification: Ifstr(i) $(RegistryErrorIndex) != NO_ERROR EndWait Debug-Output "Resgitry error: add value list."

To configure specific settings, modify the code fragment below.

Copy the \I386 directory from the Windows NT compact disc to your hard drive. 2. Expand i386\Oemnxptc.in_ to Oemnxptc.inf. The Expand.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory. 3. Rename i386\Oemnxptc.in_ to Oemnxptc.bk_ WARNING: Modification of INF files may cause serious, system-wide problems before and after Setup and may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the modification of INF files can be solved. Make INF modifications at your own risk. Corporate Network Systems does not support the modification of INF files. For more information on INF files, refer to the Programmer's Guide included in the Windows NT DDK or contact Microsoft Consulting Services or a Solution Provider. 4. Modify i386\Oemnxptc.inf: ; Original line below ; set InstallList = {"1","1","0","0","1","0","0","0"} ; Modified line below set InstallList = {"1","1","0","0","1","0","0","0"} NOTE: It is not necessary to rename Oemnxptc.inf to Oemnxptc.in_. Windows NT Setup does not require the file to be compressed or named with an in_ extension. 5. Expand i386\Oemnsvft.in_ to Oemnsvft.inf. The Expand.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory. 6. Rename i386\Oemnsvft.in_ to Oemnsvft.bk_ 7. Modify i386\Oemnsvft.inf using Step 2 and 3 in the "Computer Profile Setup" section.
