Same problem here. No matter what I try I have not been able to get this to work either. It always come up set to -8 Here is my complete WinNT.sif http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39194

Hi All I am trying to get a Unattended install of Win2K with a slipstreamed SP4 running and I am having some troubles wiht the WinNT.SIF. Some of it works and some of it doesn't. I am using ProvideDefaults because sometime we need to customize the installation but most of the time we would want the installer to simply press Next, Next, Next, Finish...... Backgorund Windows 2000 Server with SP4, Video, Modem, PERC-RAID, and NIC drivers slip streamed using nLite. The server is a Dell PowerEdge 2800. I am using Unattended Install with ProvideDefaults. My actual WinNT.SIF file is provided below. Issues 1) I can't get the TimeZone setting to work. I have tried 35, 035, "035" and after the install the TimeZone is always set to Microsoft default of -8. 2) I can't get the AdminPassword to be nothing. I have set it to AdminPassword = * but the default comes up with "*" (that is there appears to one character in the password field) 3) There is a modem in this server but I can't get the AreaCode to take. I am using AreaCode = 123 but the field's default value comes up empty during the configuration stage. Is there anyway to avoid that Window all together or at least get the defaults to be applied? 4) The display settings also will not take. I know the values are correct for this card and monitor but every time I install W2K the defaults are set to VGA low 5) Finally, is there anyway to avoid the anoyning "Configure Your Server" screen that comes up after the installation is complete?
