Download and install the latest ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) from HP website: http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/3376.html. Unattended/scripted install After completing the tasks identified in the prerequisites section, for an unattended install, create an answer file (UNATTEND.TXT) and a distribution point (I386 folder) where you can save all the necessary files for installation. Microsoft offers a utility, SETUPMGR.EXE that allows you to create an answer file and helps you set up a distribution point. For additional information, refer to the following Microsoft document: HOW TO: Use Setup Manager to Create an Answer File in the Windows Server Family (Q323438). CAUTION: Make sure you add the following line in the unattended section of the UNATTEND.TXT file. [UNATTENDED] NtUpgrade=Yes If you do not add this line, then Setup will continue with a fresh install, not an upgrade. CAUTION: If you are using the OEMPreinstall flag with the UNATTEND.TXT file, remove the following: [UNATTENDED] OEMPREINSTALL=YES Upgrades may fail if the OEMPREINSTALL=YES option is enabled. Depending on the requirement for the applications being installed, a system administrator can write a very detailed script file to perform many tasks. In our scenario, HP engineers created two batch files that performed a fully automated upgrade by performing the following steps: 1. Allow administrator to log on without entering the password. 2. Launch the upgrade (WINNT32.EXE) from the distribution point/server. 3. Provide the license key provided by Microsoft and other necessary information until the installation completes. 7
