Unattend install using OEM config
I am trying to use the Unattend install using the OEM config - txtsetup.oem. I have having problems getting the syntax correct for the install to work properly. Does anyone have a finished copy of an OEM install (prefer Display/Video driver install)?
ASKER
This was the first area I tried. It is, unfortunately, lacking in specifics on how to setup the OEM display driver. I have a call into Microsoft who has been less than complete.

Reasonable answer. Opens some of the questions I had about the oem script, but I am still stuck with specifics for the S3 Aurora I am installing. I can not use the default driver for this, so I have to use a special unsupported driver. If you have an opportunity, please E-mail me so that I can challenge you some more-

[DisplayDrivers]
This section contains a list of display drivers to be loaded by the Setup Loader, and installed during text-mode Setup. It is only valid when OemPreinstall = Yes. If this section is missing or empty, Setup will attempt to detect the display devices on the computer, and install the corresponding retail drivers. Note that you can get the same functionality by using the settings in the [Display] section described later.
<display driver description>
Value: RETAIL | OEM
This is a string that identifies the driver to be installed. It must match one of the strings defined in the right-hand side of the [Display] section of the Txtsetup.sif file (for a retail driver), or the Txtsetup.oem file (for an OEM driver). Multiple <display driver description>s can be specified. RETAIL indicates that the driver is part of the retail Windows NT product. OEM indicates that the driver is OEM-supplied.
[Display]
This section is used to specify display settings for the particular graphics device being installed. In order for this to work properly, the user must know what settings are valid for the graphics. If the pre-specified settings are not valid, the user will be prompted to select them.
ConfigureAtLogon
Value: 0 | 1
This key is used to specify when the graphics devices are configured: During Setup or after the first logon by a user. 0 implies configure during Setup and 1 indicates that the device should be configured during the first logon by the user. For this to be fully automated, this key should not be used at all.
BitsPerPel
Value: <valid bits per pixel>
This key specifies the <valid bits per pixel> for the graphics device being installed.
Xresolution
Value: <valid x resolution>
This key specifies a <valid x resolution> for the graphics device being installed.
Yresolution
Value: <valid y resolution>
This key specifies a <valid y resolution> for the graphics device being installed.
Vrefresh
Value: <valid refresh rate>
This key specifies a <valid refresh rate> for the graphics device being installed.
Flags
Value: <valid flags>
This key specifies <valid flags> for the graphics device being installed.
AutoConfirm
Value: 0 | 1
The AutoConfirm key indicates whether the graphics device should be configured using pre-specified display settings or not. 0 implies do not use the pre-specified settings and 1 indicates that the pre-defined settings should be used. AutoConfirm = 1 requires that all the necessary parameters have been pre-specified in the Unattend.txt file. Listed below is an example the [Display] sections settings:
[Display]
BitsPerPel = 8
XResolution = 1024
YResolution = 768
VRefresh = 70
Flags = 0
AutoConfirm = 1
If the Video card installed cannot use the defined settings or are invalid, defaults will be used for install. You can install third party video drivers if your video card is not detected by NT and is an OEM Video card. Please see the following Knowledge Base article for this information:
ARTICLE-ID: Q166028
TITLE: Installing 3rd-Party Video drivers with Txtsetup.oem
Unattended
You can use the next three parameters instead of the [DisplayDriver], [OemBootFiles] sections and custom Txtsetup.oem files to install third-party video drivers. The drivers and files required by the video adapter should exist in the $OEM$\Display directory on the distribution share point.
InstallDriver
Value: 0 | 1
This key specifies whether a third-party driver is being installed or not. If value is 0, the InfFile and InfOption keys are skipped.
InfFile
Values: <inf file name 1>, <inf file name 2>, ...
This key specifies a list of .inf file names for display drivers to be installed. You can specify only one .inf file per driver. That is, S3.inf, Matrox.inf, and so on.
InfOption
Values: <inf option 1>, <inf option 2>, ...
Specifies a list of options that should be selected from the
corresponding .inf files specified with the InfFile key. For example, the display tool will install the S3 765 entry in the S3.inf file and the Millenium 3D entry in the Matrox.inf file if the following keys are specified:
InfFile = s3.inf, matrox.inf
InfOption = S3 765, Millenium 3D
