Thanks. I will give this a try. What about if I want to do this on multiple systems thus multiple MAC addresses. What would I use for the Identifier? Thanks again.

Hey guys. I have been searching all day for this and have came up short many times and figured I would ask you all for some help. What I'm trying to do is have a unattend.xml set a static IP, DNS, and display resolution. Below is what I have in my unattend.xml thus far. I have removed the DNS portion because I keep getting a windows error stating it can not continue installation. I'm still getting the error with the file below but I think it may have something to do with the identifier. I would like to be able to use this for Audit mode for factory testing... and then use it for OOBE so that I can prepare the system for deployment. Of course I would still need the static ips. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One more thing, is there a way to keep the HFSLIP uninstall option out of the add/remove programs? I'm using this on test systems for a software system and I rather not provoke our testers any more than I have to.

oops... my answer is above. Looking forward to the updates above. Also... perhaps this is in the guide, is there a way to create multiple accounts with the unattended install with specific rights (like Guest rights)?
