Script IIS 5.1 installation on Windows XP

Question

I found an idea for scripting the installation of IIS7 on Vista

I'm looking for a similar solution for IIS 5.1 on Windows XP. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Create your unattend text file. Check the following document on the Windows Server CD for all relevant options: support\\tools\\deploy.cab -- unattend.doc on W2K, or ref.chm for XP/W2K3

It looks something like this; here are some common ones you can pick from:

[Components]

iis_common = ON

iis_inetmgr = ON iis_www = ON

iis_ftp = ON

iis_doc = ON

iis_htmla = ON

iis_pwmgr = ON

mts_core = ON

fp = OFF

fp_extensions = OFF

iis_smtp = OFF

iis_nntp = OFF

2. Set Registry key at HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup\\SourcePath = "" ie SourcePath="\\server\\share" where \\server\\share\\i386 contains Windows files.

3. Run: SYSOCMGR.EXE /i:sysoc.inf /r /n /u: Make sure the identity which runs this command has access to \\server\\share
