    Hi,

    currently I'm working on an unattended install of a test environment for SCCM. It's based on the Hydration Kit for creating a SCCM 2007 SP2 environment. I want to use our own software so I replaced the usage of evaluation versions with our own. We use the following approach :

    install SCCM 2007 SP1

    install SCCM 2007 SP2

    install SCCM 2007 R2

    install SCCM 2007 R3

    On installing SP2 SCCM setup fails because de prerequisite directory appears to be invalid.

    the command line is :

    <path to SCCMsource>\SMSSETUP\BIN\I386\setup.exe /upgrade <aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee> "<path to SCCMSource>\Prereq

    In 'c:\ConfigMngrSetup.log' I see the following errors :

    External files directory does not exist

    The setup fomand line option is not valid on this computer.

    Any suggestions are welcome !

    Thanks in advance.

    NB1 : when I perform a manual install, using the GUI, setup finishes with no problems

    NB2 : I know, the evaluation version accepts no unattended install setup, but we are not using the evaluation version of SCCM in our production environment (it's in use since 2009)

    Ok, I _could_ fall back on manual install, but I'm sure unattended install is possible. I must be overlooking something, but what ?

    See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693561.aspx. You have to use an ini (and there you can provide PrerequisitePath and PrerequisiteComp).
    BTW: SP2 contains SP1 and R3 contains R2 so no need to install them separately.

    Allright, thanks for the rapid reply !

    The installation steps will not be the same but perhaps that's the price to pay.

    I'll regerate the install-ISO and give it another spin. I'll get back when I have the results.

    It appeared we were using a evaluation version of the SP2 upgrade after all. Didn't realize that was possible, as the Servicepacks are free of charge, and we never had any issues relating to this.

    I downloaded the full SCCM 2007 with SP2 version from the VL download site, and now it works like a charm.

    Thanks for the help !
