# Unattended Update Information for Windows* 98 and Me

## A note about Operating System support for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 T
Desktop Adapter

The drivers for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter are only supported for Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Millennium edition. The original Windows 98 does not support the NDIS 5 driver specification to which the driver was written.

## A note about computer names in Microsoft networks

There cannot be more than one computer with a particular name on the network at any time, even during installation. Consequently to deploy Windows 9x on multiple computers, you must manually change the value of the computer name.
Different configuration managers exist to overcome this hurdle in enterprise OS deployments. For more information on deploying Windows 98/ME in an enterprise network, consult the Windows 98 resource kit.

## Setting up an install directory on the file server

Note: The network share Z:\PUSH is used here as an example path to the distribution folder. The distribution folder is where the setup files (Setup.exe and .CAB files) for Windows 9x 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 9x can occur, a directory needs to be prepared.
1. Copy the Win9x setup folder from the Windows CD to Z:\PUSH. Use Explorer, Winfile or XCOPY in order to maintain the same
directory structure as on the CD.
2. Use the pushcopy.bat batch file located in the \APPS\SETUP\PUSH directory on the Product CD to copy the necessary files to Z:\PUSH.
Note: PUSHCOPY.BAT must be run from the \APPS\SETUP\PUSH directory on the product CD or from the download directory. The command to copy the Windows 98/ME files to the Z:\PUSH directory is:
PUSHCOPY Z:\PUSH W9X
Note: By default pushcopy.bat copies all of the files required to install the driver and PROSet II and PROSet II will be installed during the push installation. Comment out the following line in the [RunOnce.BatchDelay] section if you do not to install PROSet II.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER,%KEY_RUNONCE%,BatchRun0,,"c:\progra~1\Intel\proset.exe MsiPath=c:\Progra~1\Intel /qn"
3. Review the copy of MSBATCH.INF within the Z:\PUSH directory. Make any changes needed to customize the install. At a minimum you should change the ProductKey= entry in the [Setup] section, the Name= and Org= entries in the [NameAndOrg] section, and the ComputerName= entry in the [Network] section.
Note: Be sure to read the comments in the [RunOnce.BatchDelay]
section and uncomment the appropriate batch commands for your
installation.

## Deployment Methods

There are many ways to perform an unattended installation or upgrade including but not limited to:
- Setting up a login script that executes a setup statement when each user logs in
- Inserting an object in an email message that runs setup when the user clicks it
- Using Microsoft SMS server to run Windows 9x Setup
- Inserting a floppy that shares a drive on the network and runs setup from the shared drive
- Copying the files to a local drive and then running an unattended setup from there
- Use the Boot Strap Agent and an installed PXE Server. See the Boot Agent Users Guide for deployment suggestions and strategies for each OS.
Each Network Administrator should determine the easiest way to accomplish this goal for his or her own network.
To avoid possible areas where an unattended installation might be halted we recommend you use one of the following setup command lines for Windows 98 or Windows Millennium respectively:
Note: Do not include the argument "/ID" if there is any doubt that there is sufficient free hard disk space.
Windows 98:
SETUP /IS /ID /IM /IE /IW
- "/IV" turns off billboards and speeds up the setup.
- "/ID" turns off free diskspace check
Windows Millennium:
SETUP /IS /ID /IM /IE /IW /IV

## Where to get help

The Windows Resource kits contains detailed information on unattended setups and deploying Windows 98 in an enterprise environment.
