At the end of your regular build, add a reboot then a software deployment task pointing to setup2.exe of CD2. Use the followingin optional parameters:
/q /a /p:<YourSerialNumber> |

You have to enter your Product Key. But take care, it's a different one than Windows Server 2003 has. |

I have tried copying the entire 2nd CD and just the R2 folder into .\lib\software\ and I created an Install Software task to kick off after the OS install. I have it set to copy all directory files and to copy all subdirectories. I am also using the command line switches /q /a /p: and the cd key. However, when it finishes copying the files to the client and then executes the setup2.exe file, it fails and I get an Error 2 in the Status Detail of the job. Have any of you run into this issue while trying to get your deployment of R2 to work? I am using RDP 3.5. I am able to manually run the setup locally and from the eXpress share on the RDP server with the switches I am using and it installs fine. It only fails as a task |

Just posting what I did to resolve it for myself
The way I get it to work is I have added it as a Install Package task within my server deployment job. Make sure that you get a reboot before it kicks off or it will fail. I have placed the contents of the CD in a folder called R2 in the \lib\software folder. In the name box, I have .\lib\software\R2\cmpnents\r2\setup2.exe
Copy all directory files and Copy subdirectories are checked. Additional command-line switches are /quiet /accepteula /p:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx (license key)
I had trouble using just /q /a and /sr |

2003 R2 Standard Edition cd 2 install works fine as per the instructions in the first reply by calling setup2.exe.
However if you use the Enterprise Edition there is no setup2.exe at the root level of cd 2 just r2auto.exe. The setup file sits under the folder CMPNENTS\R2 folders as "setup2.exe".
If you create a job as per the instructions in the 1st reply but pointing to the setup2.exe file under CMPNENTS\R2 the setup fails Error 2 installing package.
Can anyone help or provide advice on how they got Enterprise edition cd 2 installs working?
Thanks.

I can tell you what I did atleast and it works great.
I added in the scripts to copy the r2 folder to the root of my C: drive.
Then I edited the default.txt (unattended setup file) I added this:
[GuiRunOnce]
"%systemdrive%\cmpnents\r2\setup2.exe /q /a"
Give it a try, worked great for me :) |
