TYPE{:WIN95 | WIN98 | WINNT}
Specifies the operating system that is installed
on the client. This parameter is required when
creating a client definition.
5.1.1 Defining workstations individually
Note: BIOS
For a number of reasons, before you install a Windows operating system
on a client, verify that the BIOS is 4/15/98 or later. Check your PC vendor’s
documentation on how to do this.
Usually, when you create a single client for testing, or ad hoc client definition,
you would probably want to use the command line. However, when you are
defining multiple clients, it is best to use the data file option. Using data files
is explained later in this chapter.
When you define a client using the command line, you need to specify at least
the following parameters together with the clients name:
/ADD
/TYPE{:WIN95 | WIN98 | WINNT}
/RECORDID{:ServerRecordID
/RELEASE{:DirectoryName}
/MAC{:AdapterAddress}
If you do not specify a response file, it uses the default response files to
define the client. Table 12 lists the default response files for each of the
operating systems.
