I.Introduction

The PUSH installations of Network Adapter drivers on windows 2000 is achieved by
setting the options in the Unattend.txt file.

I. Setting up an Install Directory on the file server
	
Note:  The network share Z:\PUSH2K is used here as an example path to the
       distribution folder.  The distribution folder is where the setup
       files for Windows 2000 reside.  During the first step of the
       install, the client will connect to the distribution folder with
       IPX or TCP/IP.

Before an unattended server based setup of Windows 2000 can occur 
a directory needs to be prepared.

      	1. Copy the \I386 folder from the CD to Z:\PUSH2K.  Use 
           Explorer, Winfile or XCOPY in order to maintain the same 
           directory structure as on the CD.
 	
	2. Make folders beneath \i386 as follows:
		\$OEM$\$$\Help
		\$OEM$\$$\System32
		\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\Net\e100b
		
       	3. From the Configuration and Drivers Diskette provided with the
           adapter, copy all the files into Z:\PUSH2K\i386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\Net\e100b 
	   directory and copy Unattend.txt from the Diskette into the shared 
	   directory Z:\PUSH2K. Make sure that Unattend.txt has the latest 
	   changes you made for customizing the push installation.
	 
             
III. Deployment Method
	
	1. Make sure that you have a copy of network bootable MS-DOS floppy and 
	   the boot the system which you want to push install with this floppy and connected 
	   to the shared network directory.
	2. Run the command as :
		\\Server\PUSH2K\i386\winnt /u:\\Server\PUSH2K\Unattend.txt /s:\\Server\PUSH2K /t:C

		

Important Note:
	By adopting the above procedure, the setup runs the installation
in unattended mode and also detects the plug and play network adpaters.  All driver files are copied from the shared directory to the target system directories and continues installation of the OS and Network Adapters without user intervention.


The sample Unattend.txt file used for the above installation is as follows:


[Unattended]
    Unattendmode = FullUnattended
    OemPreinstall = YES
    TargetPath = WINNT
    Filesystem = LeaveAlone
    NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1
    NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1
    OemSkipEula = Yes
    OemPnpDriversPath="drivers\net\e100b"

[UserData]
    ProductID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    FullName = "DMI2"
    OrgName = "Intel"
    ComputerName = "COMPUTER1"

[GuiUnattended]
    TimeZone = "004"
    AdminPassword = *
    OemSkipWelcome = 1
    AdvServerType = SERVERNT

[LicenseFilePrintData]
    AutoMode = PerSeat

[Display]
    BitsPerPel = 16
    XResolution = 800
    YResolution = 600
    VRefresh = 60

[Identification]

     JoinWorkGroup = Workgroup
;  *Use the following for a domain installation
;    JoinDomain=DMI2
;    CreateComputerAccountInDomain=Yes
;    DomainAdmin=Installer
;    DomainAdminPassword=install

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=Yes
