Ok...stupid question time. On page 375 of the Admin guide, it tells me to
use MFXP001.msi as the source from the \Metaframe directory. This doesn't
exist, but the MPS.msi you mentioned does. So, I open it up and change
some of the properties per your email below. DOoI save the new mps.msi or
do I create a transform file? Page 375 says to generate the transform. My
confusion comes in on page 376. It gives examples from a transform file
that is on the CD.
Question: are these sample transforms meant to be used or are they there
as samples? If there as samples, why have them when they are documented in
the manual? Should I create a new transform following the example on page
376?

Hi Adam,
Sorry, sent the previus message before my brain was in gear.
All the unattendedinstall.exe file does is generate an msiexec command
line with all the appropriate properties defined.
Eg, (though this one is for XP FR3) the following command replaces the
unattendedinstall.exe. It is all one line and I needed it to make sure
the transform was applied properly.
msiexec /i "metaframe\w2k\mfxp001.msi" /q
TRANSFORMS="m:\install\citrix\disable_installer_w2k_en.mst"
CTX_MF_FARM_SELECTION="Join" CTX_MF_JOIN_FARM_DB_CHOICE="Direct"
CTX_MF_ZONE_NAME="" CTX_MF_SILENT_DSNFILE="M:\install\citrix\mf20.dsn"
CTX_MF_ODBC_USER_NAME="metaframe_xpe"
CTX_MF_ODBC_PASSWORD="gwf_metaframe_xpe" CTX_MF_SHADOWING_CHOICE="Yes"
CTX_MF_SHADOW_PROHIBIT_REMOTE_ICA="No"
CTX_MF_SHADOW_PROHIBIT_NO_NOTIFICATION="No"
CTX_MF_SHADOW_PROHIBIT_NO_LOGGING="No" CTX_MF_XML_CHOICE="separate"
CTX_MF_XML_PORT_NUMBER="80" CTX_MF_NFUSE_DEF_WEB_PAGE="Yes"
CTX_MF_LAUNCH_CLIENT_CD_WIZARD="No" REBOOT="No" /l*v
"m:\install\citrix\msi.log" /qb- CTX_MF_TURN_FEATURE_RELEASE_ON="Yes"
CTX_MF_SERVER_TYPE="E" CTX_MF_REBOOT="No"
CTX_MF_PRODUCT_CODE="0D00-06A7"
Alternatively you can edit the mps.msi file with ORCA (free MSI editor
from Microsoft) to predefine all these values in the Property table.
That makes a standalaone MSI file that can be used for server builds as
is, with just a /l*v and /qb- switch for logging with a silent install.

Subject: [THIN] Unattended install for MPS
Anyone have a working unattend.txt file for MPS 3.0? I am trying to
setup a test server in Virtual PC using the unattended method. I can
install everything manually without problems. Whwn I enable logging, I
get way too much so I set it only give errors and warnings. The output
file is two
line: start and stop messages.
