Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Inside Out Chapter 5 Tip If installing from product media, name the Unattend.txt file Winnt.sif, put it on a floppy disk, and put that disk in the computer. When you boot from the CD, the answer file will be automatically recognized and used during setup. In addition to the /Unattend command-line option that causes Setup to use the Unattend.txt file to automate installation, many other command-line parameters can be used to affect the installation. This includes whether to use Dynamic Update during installation (and many other options). For further information on these command-line options, see the sections entitled Winnt Command-Line Parameters on page 76, and Winnt32 Command-Line Parameters on page 77. Starting the Unattended Installation You can start an unattended installation in a number of different ways, depending on the installation programs and methods you are using, as follows: . Batch file If you used Setup Manager to create your Unattend.txt file and you will be using the Windows Setup program to perform the installation, you can use the Unattend.bat file, also created by Setup Manager, to start the installation process. . Manually You can also manually enter the same command sequence from the command line, with any additional parameters that might be necessary for the specific installation you re performing (for instance, a different location for the temporary files). Extending the Unattend.txt File The unattended installation text file in Windows Server 2003 builds on the Windows 2000 version while maintaining the familiar .inf format. Several new sections, as well as many new settings, provide finer control over the installation and configuration of Windows Server 2003 server and Windows XP operating systems. The new sections added to the Unattend.txt file since Windows 2000 include the following: . [Homenet] This section contains settings for home networking, including network adapters and Internet Connection Sharing and firewalls. . [PCHealth] This section contains settings for remote assistance and detailed error- reporting management. . [SetupParams] Used to run additional commands after Setup is completed (by the UserExecute entry). . [Shell] Sets themes to set the style of the user interface. . [SystemRestore] Sets calendar and session frequencies of backup and purging. . [Uninstall] Controls uninstall options for Windows XP installations. 148 Part 2: Windows Server 2003 Installation
