Unsigned drivers are stopping my unattended installations.

A. Windows 2000 uses a driver signing system and when a driver issigned its been tested and is known to work with Windows 2000. You should alwaysuse signed drivers where possible.

If a driver is not signed and you try and use as part of an unattendedinstallation your installation will stop and you will prompted to continue touse it, this obviously defeats the purpose of unattended so its possible toconfigure the installation to ignore driver signing.

Open your unattended/sif file and goto the [Unattended] section and add theline:

DriverSigningPolicy = ignore

There are actually 3 values for DriverSigningPolicy, ignore, warn and block.They speak for themselves I think :-)

Please note that if you are using drivers that supercede those supplied withWindows 2000 and they are NOT signed the installation process will ignore themand instead used the built in signed versions.
