I. Introduction

	A "Push", or unattended installation of Windows NT 4.0 provides a
    means for network adminstrators to easily install Windows NT 4.0 on
    similarly equipped systems.  The network administrator can create a
    bootable diskette that will automatically log into a central server
    and install the operating system from an image of the Windows NT 4.0
    installation directory stored on that server.
    This document provides instructions for a basic unattended installation
    of Windows NT 4.0 that includes the installation of drivers for the
    Intel(R) PRO/1000 adapter.  

    The elements necessary for the Windows NT 4.0 unattend installation are:

    -  A Windows NT 4.0 Server with a shared image of the \I386 directory
       from the Windows NT 4.0 installation CD.

    -  An unattended installation configuration file that provides Windows NT
       4.0 setup with information it needs to complete the installation.
       The name of this file is UNATTEND.TXT

    -  A DOS boot diskette that contains Microsoft Network Client software
       for connecting to the Windows NT 4.0 server and AutoExec commands
       to automatically start the Windows NT 4.0 installation. 


    This document will provide instructions for setting up the shared
    installation directory on the Windows NT 4.0 Server andd making changes 
    to the UNATTEND.TXT file.


II. Setting up an install directory on the file server

    1. Create a folder on the server's hard disk for the
       installation files (EX: "NT40.INS").  Make this folder
       shared (e.g., with shared name "NT40.INS").

    2. Create a user (EX: "USERID" with a password "password")
       and grant read and view rights for the NT40.INS folder.

    3. Use a CD-ROM drive at the Windows NT server and xcopy the i386
       folder with Windows NT 4.0 installation files to the shared
       folder NT40.INS on this server.  Use Windows NT Explorer or
       XCOPY /s to preserve the directory structure of the installation
       files.  When the copy is complete, the installation files should
       reside in the NT40.INS\I386 folder.

    4. Copy the sample UNATTEND.TXT file from the Intel Configuration
       and Drivers CD to the NT40.INS\I386 folder.  The sample 
       can be found on the CD in the PUSH\WINNT folder. 
       Modify the installation answer file UNATTEND.TXT as
       required by your specific system and desired Windows NT
       configurations. Note that UNATTEND.TXT may be read-only and
       may need to be made write-able before editing (EX:
       attrib -r unattend.txt). A sample UNATTEND.TXT file with
       comments is included with this document.  The text of that file
       can also be in section IV of this document.  At a minimum
       you should update the items in the [UserData] section.


    5. Create the \INTEL folder in the installation share.  The full
       folder name is NT40.INS\i386\$OEM$\Net\INTEL.

    6. Copy driver installation files:
       Xcopy the Intel Configuration and Drivers CD
       to the proper place under Adapter Device Driver folder
       (NT40.INS\i386\$OEM$\Net\INTEL folder on the Windows NT
       server).  This enables the installation program to find
       the same file structure as on the Drivers disk.  Be sure
       to use the /s /e switches on xcopy.

    NOTE:  The above steps (5) and (6) can be accomplished with the
           PUSHCOPY.BAT file in the \WINDOWS\PUSH folder on the Intel 
           Configuration and Drivers CD.  To use this method from an NT 
           command prompt:
           a.  change drives to the CDROM drive.
               (EX:  D:  (where D: is the drive letter of the CDROM drive)
           b.  change directories to the \WINDOWS\PUSH directory on the CD)
               (CD \WINDOWS\PUSH)
           c.  Run the PUSHCOPY.BAT file.
               (PUSHCOPY C:\NT40.INS\I386 NT)
 
           This will create the $OEM$ directory structure and copy the 
           necessary files to it.


III.  Performing the Unattended Installation

    2. Boot up your DOS network client diskette.

       After connecting to the network:

        a)  Input "USERID" as a User name when prompted.

        b)  Input "password" as a password when prompted.

                OR

        c)  Modify the NET START line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT to
            NET LOGON USERID PASSWORD /YES

       After the Windows NT 4.0 installation begins, Wait until the
       copy operation labelled "Setup is copying files..." in the
       line-draw characters box appears, then remove the diskette
       from the drive.  This will allow the unattended installation 
       to continue after the setup program reboots the system.
