To get around the errors that popup when NT is booted up without a keyboard or mouse, use the following hack which controls system hard error messages. To run an unattended server, use mode 2. :
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
Name: ErrorMode
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 2
The legal values are:
- 0 : errors are serialized and wait for a response
- 1 : if the error comes from the system, then it is written to the system log; no user intervention is required and dialog boxes are not displayed. If the error does not come from the system, then the system continues in normal operating mode.
- 2 : errors are written to the system log; the dialog box is not displayed
