Yea, whenever you define a text file on your /unatted switch (i.e. /unattend:\\server\share\winxp\unattend.txt) then it does not perform just an upgrade, it does a parrellel installation of WinXP. I just need to upgrade from W2K to WinXP. I even tried to create an unattend.txt file with just the Product Key defined and this did not work either. Has anyone ever been able to do an unattended upgrade? Chris

Hey, I'm having a little trouble creating an unattended upgrade from Win 2K to XP (this is really an upgrade not a new installation). I have created a unattended installation which references an unattend text file. That part works great for a fresh install but not for upgrading. When I am trying to upgrade a workstation I was able to run this command: \\servername\share\winxp\i386\winnt32.exe /unattend This starts the unattended upgrade but it stops right away and says that I have to provide a valid product key. How do I provide a key? If I specify an unattend.txt file then it does a fresh install instead of an upgrade. Has anyone else ever run across anything like this? I should note that after I get the error I have the chance to enter the product key then everything works great without any further user input required. Well, if anyone can help I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks, Chris
