Windows Batch files - 8/1/2005 23:20:25
All,
I am trying to create a batch file to install Windows 2003, SQL Server 2000, Analysis Server 2000, SQL Reporting Server and WSS (Windows Sharepoint Services). I have copied all these files down from the CD, and have the appropriate licenses. Do any of you know how I would create a batch file to install all these on a box? I don’t really care if it is a batch or some kind of script.
Thanks in advance for your help

I don't believe you can install all of those in unattended mode. Some you can and some you can't but MS would know the details.
Are you doing a big rollout? I use a combination of SysPrep and disk imaging software to help with those kinds of things. I use PowerQuest's Drive Image and it does a good job. Basically all you do is build a master image, Sysprep it, copy to new server, re-enter activation codes and your up and running.
Downfall is that the hardware needs to be virtually identical or you run into driver issues and such.

rdouglass,
Thanks, yes I have a big rollout dealing with Gateway, some dell and a few HP servers. I am thinking I might try InstallShield, do you think that would work?

You do have to have similar hardware which can be a 'gotcha' if you're not careful. Same thing I spoke of above, but I never have any luck with Symantec products. That's why I use Drive Image instead. And it's only $50 to boot.
