A. When a user logs onto a 2000 machine for the first time theConfigure Server Wizard may start however it is possible to disable this bydeselecting the 'Show this screen at startup' box however you may want for thisdialog to NEVER be shown.
To disable for an existing installation for any new users perform thefollowing:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSetupWelcome
Double click srvwiz and set to 0. Click OK
Close the registry editor
If you want to disable at installation time perform the following:
Copy the contents of the installation folder (I386) to a share
On the distribution share, locate the Hivedef.inf file
Search for srvwiz. Edit the line
HKCU,"SoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSetupWelcome","srvwiz",0x00010003,1
change the end value 1 to 0.
HKCU,"SoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSetupWelcome","srvwiz",0x00010003,0Save the file
Any installations installed from this distribution point will not display theconfigure server wizard.
