JSI Tip 3631. How do I enable the Hibernate feature during an unattended install?

The are no parameters that allow you to enable the Hibernate feature during the install.

Here is a workaround:

1. On another Windows 2000 computer, enable the Hibernate feature using Control Panel / Power Options / Hibernate tab / Enable Hibernate Support. Use Regedit to Export the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerPower key to a Hiber.reg file. Edit the Hiber.reg file, leaving only the Heuristics value name:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerPower]"Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,01,00,0e,6f,00,00,f0,00,00,00,76,00,00,00

2. Boot the Recovery Console and copy the c:hiberfil.sys file to hiberfil.cop. Restart the computer.

3. Copy the Hiber.reg and Hiberfil.cop files to a location that is accessible during the unattended installation, CD-ROM, network share, or another partition on your target computer.

4. Add the following section to your Unattend Answer file:

[GuiRunOnce]    Command0="regedit /s hiber.reg"    Command1="cmd /c copy hiberfil.cop c:hiberfil.sys"    Command2="cmd /c attrib +S +H +A C:hiberfil.sys"

NOTE: You can NOT do this with a Terminal Services computer.
