I want to automate the win2k pro installation within the network I have created a Unattended setup. (havn't tested it yet but it will work fine)
Have two unattended files one with cd-rom install and one with network install (bootdisk)
Now I want during the windows setup that windows partition my had in 3 partitions. This must also be automated.
And if it is possible install some software from a network location

Wouldnt it be alot easier to use norton ghost? You could ghost a computer with what you want on it and then just push it accross the network to any computer you want. All you would have to do is make a boot up floppy from ghost for that specific NIC card in the computer and your on your way. You will be able to set how many partitions you want and a lot more. You should check it out.

We have norton ghost 2002. I have looked into it. You can not save the image on an ntfs partition. It can't even read it. just clone the hole disk

You can save it on an NTFS partition cause I just did it. I cloned over a 100 machines all winsows xp with NTFS partitions from a machine with xp and NTFS partitions. SO I know its possible of course my version or ghost is 2003 but about 2 years ago I did the same thing a 2001 version using windows 2000 and ntfs partitions so it must work. I wouldnt tell you this if it couldnt be done.
