Sets up or upgrades Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000
Professional. You can run the winnt32 command at a Windows 95,
Windows 98, or Windows NT command prompt. winnt32 [/s:sourcepath] [/tempdrive:drive_letter]
[/unattend[num]:[answer_file]] [/copydir:folder_name]
[/copysource:folder_name] [/cmd:command_line] Parameters /s:sourcepath Specifies the source location of the Windows 2000 files. To
simultaneously copy files from multiple servers, specify multiple /s
sources. If you use multiple /s switches, the first specified server
must be available or Setup will fail. /tempdrive:drive_letter Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified partition and to
install Windows 2000 on that partition. /unattend Upgrades your previous version of Windows 2000,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 3.51, Windows 95, or
Windows 98 in unattended Setup mode. All user settings are taken from the
previous installation, so no user intervention is required during Setup. Using the /unattend switch to automate Setup affirms that you have
read and accepted the Microsoft License Agreement for Windows 2000. Before
using this switch to install Windows 2000 on behalf of an organization
other than your own, you must confirm that the end user (whether an individual,
or a single entity) has received, read, and accepted the terms of the
Windows 2000 Microsoft License Agreement. OEMs may not specify this key on
machines being sold to end users. /unattend[num]:[answer_file] Performs a fresh installation in unattended Setup mode. The answer file
provides Setup with your custom specifications. Num is the number of seconds between the time that Setup finishes
copying the files and when it restarts your computer. You can use num on
any computer running Windows NT or Windows 2000. Answer_file is the name of the answer file. /copydir:folder_name Creates an additional folder within the folder in which the
Windows 2000 files are installed. For example, if the source folder
contains a folder called Private_drivers that has modifications just for your
site, you can type /copydir:Private_drivers to have Setup copy that
folder to your installed Windows 2000 folder, making the new folder
location C:\Winnt\Private_drivers. You can use /copydir to create as
many additional folders as you want. /copysource:folder_name Creates a temporary additional folder within the folder in which the
Windows 2000 files are installed. For example, if the source folder
contains a folder called Private_drivers that has modifications just for your
site, you can type /copysource:Private_drivers to have Setup copy that
folder to your installed Windows 2000 folder and use its files during
Setup, making the temporary folder location C:\Winnt\Private_drivers. Unlike
the folders /copydir creates, /copysource folders are deleted
after Setup completes. /cmd:command_line Instructs Setup to carry out a specific command before the final phase of
Setup. This would occur after your computer has restarted twice and after Setup
has collected the necessary configuration information, but before Setup is
complete. /debug[level]:[filename] Creates a debug log at the level specified, for example, /debug4:C:\Win2000.log.
The default log file is C:\ /udf:id[,UDB_file] Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a
Uniqueness Database (UDB) file modifies an answer file (see the /unattend
entry). The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer file, and the
identifier determines which values in the UDB file are used. For example, /udf:RAS_user,Our_company.udb
overrides settings specified for the RAS_user identifier in the Our_company.udb
file. If no UDB_file is specified, Setup prompts the user to insert a
disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file. /syspart:drive_letter Specifies that you can copy Setup startup files to a hard disk, mark the
disk as active, and then install the disk into another computer. When you start
that computer, it automatically starts with the next phase of the Setup. You
must always use the /tempdrive parameter with the /syspart
parameter. /checkupgradeonly Checks your computer for upgrade compatibility with Windows 2000. For
Windows 95 or Windows 98 upgrades, Setup creates a report named
Upgrade.txt in the Windows installation folder. For Windows NT 3.51
or 4.0 upgrades, it saves the report to the Winnt32.log in the installation
folder. /cmdcons Adds to the operating system selection screen a Recovery Console option for
repairing a failed installation. It is only used post-Setup. /m:folder_name Specifies that Setup copies replacement files from an alternate location.
Instructs Setup to look in the alternate location first and if files are
present, use them instead of the files from the default location. /makelocalsource Instructs Setup to copy all installation source files to your local hard
disk. Use /makelocalsource when installing from a CD to provide
installation files when the CD is not available later in the installation. /noreboot Instructs Setup to not restart the computer after the file copy phase of
winnt32 is completed so that you can execute another command. |
