[Fwd: Unable to complete Silent Upgrade to client 4.83]

[Ivan Arnerich]

(to respond, pls remove spam~)
Hi all...
I've fristly gotta admit I'm new to Novell.. - managed to set up a login script that silently forces an upgrade to the new 4.83 client, and copy the installation files locally - but no matter what I try, the user still gets the splash screen asking them to reboot.
I'm using the unattend.txt file, and have stipulated it in the acu.ini file. - the acu.ini must surely be getting actioned as the files are copying to the local client (this option appearing later in the acu.ini file) and the initial silent install is also working correctly (suggesting the unattend.txt file is also being actions to a point) - it's just the reboot  screen that persists - grrr!
My ACU.INI looks like this:

[LaunchInstall]
Launch=Yes

[DisplayDialog]
Display=No

[UnattendFile]
Use=Yes
File=z:\client\nt483sp1\nt_483.txt

[StatusLogging]
Use=Yes
File=z:\client\logs\nt_log.txt

[ServicePack]
Check=Yes

[AdministratorMessage]
Message=

[ClientLocalInstall]
LocalInstall=Yes
LocalDirectory=C:\I386\NT_483
DeleteLocalInstall=No

the UNATEND.TXT 's first few lines are:
[SetupNWInstallOptions]
!DisplayInitialScreen = NO
!AskReboot = NO
[NovellNetWareClientParameters]
!AcceptLicenseAgreement = YES
[Novell_Client_Install_Manager]
Novell_Client=NT

as I understand it, this should autoreboot at the end of the installation, but I'm getting no joy!!!
can anyone out there point out my mistake?

cheers in advance for any advice...

These newsgroups are no longer part of the official Novell support
hierarchy. I suggest you use the novell.support.* newsgroups instead.
You are more likely to get a reply there.
