  • Automatic Registration & Subscription during Kickstart?

    Posted on

    Hello,

    I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I need to find a way to register a Red Hat Enterprise Client/Workstation with our Satellite Server and claim a Workstation subscription automatically, from within the Kickstart or Postinstall scripts, on the basis of a generated key.

    Is that possible, and if so, how?

    We have been using Scientific Linux as workstations within the company (around 1500 of them), and are working on a project to replace them with RHEL Workstations (a mix of v5 and v6) over the next year or so. The people starting the installation are not Linux-savvy, and we don't want them to have to do anything other than stick the CDROM into the drive and type a simple boot option string to start the desired install. Everything else should run automatically, all the way to a finished Desktop.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Wolf
