hi

you do not need it anyway.
DsPdsblr handles that fine.

No, because the install gets stuck at this point:

It doesn't continue - its stays frozen like this forever unless I put the ignore
in the WINNT.SIF like so:

[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

Then I lose the repair option if that is in WINNT.SIF

you do not need it anyway.
DsPdsblr handles that fine.

OS = Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2

nLite? = No

Unattended? = No

Driverpacks used = All plus all 3rd Party Driverpacks except printer packs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, I have slipstreamed all driverpacks into Windows XP SP2 and everything went fine.
This was not unattended, so all I have in the WINNT.SIF file is this:

[Data]
AutoPartition=0
UnattendedInstall="No"
MsDosInitiated=No

[UserData]
ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

[GUIRunOnce]
command9="%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe"

The reason for this not being unattended is - I do not want to lose the repair option
from the text mode part of setup.

On Server 2003 I get the install frozen at this point:

It never changes from this screen. If I reboot the system (its VMware I am testing in)
then I get a popup saying the AMD K8 driver does not pass "Authenticode" or words to
that effect, am I sure I want to install it. I click "Yes" and the install can carry on then.

So the question is, do I need this entry in WINNT.SIF:

[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

The problem is, if I put that entry in WINNT.SIF I will lose the ability to do a repair install from the CD!

I think. ???

What if the WINNT.SIF still had the UnattendedInstall="No" in WINNT.SIF ?

I noticed in older versions of the BASE, it used to put the ignore unsigned drivers entry
in the WINNT.SIF file but doesn't put that in anymore.

EDIT: Yes just rebuilt one with the DriverSigningPolicy on "Ignore" and because it is under the
[Unattended] section - I did not get the EULA (Press F8) or the option to do a repair install

This is Microsoft's fault all the way - why oh why do they have the "DriverSigningPolicy" entry
under [Unattended] when that means you will lose the option to do a repair install?! Loonies!!
