Using SYSPREP to apply IP addres to Virtual NIC Team

[Paul Jones_3]

I am using RDP to create an imaging process for a DL380-G3. I am able to create a NIC team via the CQNICCFG utility, but I can't seem to figure out how to apply a static IP address to the virtual NIC Team using SYSPREP.

Is it possible to apply a static IP to a virtual NIC using an automated process, such as SYSPREP?

Any suggestions or information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Hello Paul

I use the following in unattend scripted builds which uses the template nicteam.txt and writes the required IP informtion in to a file based upon the systems ID.

rem ReplaceTokens .\deploy\configs\nicteam.txt .\deploy\configs\team\%ID%.txt

The contents of nicteam.txt is as follows:

IPAddress1="%NIC2IPADDR%"
SubnetMask1="%NIC2IPNETMASK%"
DefaultGateway1="%NIC2IPGATEWAY%"

strnetshell1="netsh.exe interface ip set address " & chr(34) & "Team #0 - Adapter Fault Tolerance Mode" & chr(34) & " static " & IPAddress1 & " " & SubnetMask1 & " " & DefaultGateway1 & " 1"

WshShell.run "cmd /c " & strnetshell1 & " >> %systemdrive%\log.txt",1,True

The above is just a subset of whats actually in the file and works a treat for me.

Hope this helps
Regards
Simon
