Happened to see this when looking at the fixes with W2k3SP1. Article number 826508 An unattended installation of Windows Server 2003 cannot continue and you receive a message with error code 18. It sounds like this fix was included in 2003 SP1 but I would check it out.

I have copied the current drivers all over the place. Something is definitely amiss. Do you have any idea what error code 18 means? Thanks for the file..i checked and its the same one I've been using. adam Jeremy Saunders <jeremy.saunders@ au1.ibm.com> To Sent by: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx thin-bounce@freel cc ists.org Subject [THIN] Re: OT - unattended DL380G4 11/15/2005 08:49 AM Please respond to thin@xxxxxxxxxxxx g We've found that it is still required, and place it in the $OEM$\$$\OEMDir folder.

I'm using official MS media that already has SP1 embedded..one of the benefits of our EA...anyway, I am following the method I have been using for a few years now (Smartstart scripting toolkit).. After the Windows setup program (text mode) has done its numerous file copies and then actually starts the install, I get an error msg stating "Unable to load \$oem$\cpqcissm.dll Error code 18". I checked my unattended.txt and txtsetup.oem files to make sure that it was or was not listed. Both ways still fail. If you download the latest version of the SmartArray6i driver, this dll file is no longer provided. HP says that the latest version does not use it. So...how do I get windows to stop trying to load it? Better yet, what is error code 18? adam ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************
