Hi All,

I need to populate the local Administrators group with a
custom Domain Global Group during an unattended install.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Dave.
 
Hey Man, thanks for taking the time to respond.

I am using a cmdlines.txt in my $oem$ directory structure
(& the OEMPreinstall in the answer file). Call me old
fashioned but hey - it does the job. The problem with
running a net localgroup /Add you're not "logged on" as
anyone (to be authenticated against) so I'm not sure if it
will work.

But I'll give it a go though anyway.

thanks,
Dave.

Make a batch file that runs "net localgroup
Administrators <your domain group here> /ADD", and put
the batch file in the [GuiRunOnce] section of the
unattend file.

In order for this to work, you'll need to join the
machine to the domain in the unattend file as well, check
ref.chm in the XP support tools for the exact syntax.
