How to Automate SNMP Installation (142159)

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 third parameter of
   !TCPIpServiceMask in the [TCPIPServices] section to 1.
   
   [TCPIPServices]
   !TcpIpServiceMask = {"1","1","1","0","0","0","0","0"}
2. (Optional) Modify the script fragment in Oemnxpsn.inf so that the SNMP configuration dialog box is not displayed. With this modification, Setup will not allow you to configure SNMP, so it will be installed with default values.
   
   Code fragment before modification:
   

         LibraryProcedure Result, $(!TCPCFG_HANDLE), CPlSnmp, $(!STF_HWND)
         ifint $(Result) == 0
            set CommonStatus = STATUS_REBOOT
         else-ifint $(Result) == 1
            set CommonStatus = STATUS_REBOOT
         else
            set RegistryErrorIndex = $(Result)
            goto fatalregistry
         endif
   
      Code fragment after modification:
   
         ifstr(i) $(!STF_GUI_UNATTENDED) == "YES"
            Set Result = 0
         else
            LibraryProcedure Result, $(!TCPCFG_HANDLE), CPlSnmp, $(!STF_HWND)
         endif
   
         ifint $(Result) == 0
            set CommonStatus = STATUS_REBOOT
         else-ifint $(Result) == 1
            set CommonStatus = STATUS_REBOOT
         else
            set RegistryErrorIndex = $(Result)
            goto fatalregistry
         endif

Uattended Setup

1. 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 Setup files can cause serious, system-wide problems before and after Setup and may require you to reinstall Windows NT tocorrect them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the modification of Setup files can be solved. Make Setup file modifications at your own risk.
   
   
4. Modify i386\OEMNXPTC.INF:

      ; Original line below
      ;                 set InstallList = {"1","1","0","0","0","0","0","0"}
      ; Modified line below
                        set InstallList = {"1","1","1","0","0","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\Oemnxpsn.in_ to Oemnxpsn.inf. The Expand.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory.
6. Rename i386\OEMNXPSN.IN_ to OEMNXPSN.BK_. WARNING: Modification of Setup files can 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 Setup files can be solved. Make Setup file modifications at your own risk.
   
   
7. Modify i386\Oemnxpsn.inf using Step 2 in the Computer Profile Setup section.
