Hi guys.  I am trying to install the GPL program unattended from http://unattended.sourceforge.net/.  This program allows you to automate the installation over the network of Windows OS.  I am running into a bit of difficulty as one of the first things that needs to be done (according to the installation docs from unattended) is to modify the DNS server so that the server holding the images for deployment (the SME Server) is reachable over the network by the name ntinstall.  I should be able to ping ntinstall and have it ping the SME Server.  But how can I do this?

I think I worked it out.  Used a custom template.  Ping ntinstall from within the server works, but not from the workstation.  Any ideas?

Use the hostnames and addresses panel. If you haven't reada the Users guide at least twice, you'd be advised to do so.
