Windows 2003 x64 Unattended

[dthakkar]

I have been strugling with strange issue with 2003 64bit unattended install for last couple of days.

It starts installation fine and completes OS install however, it does not install NIC Drivers (Broadcom NetExtreme 5708C).

When I click on Network Properties, it is blank - no Network Icons.

I checked my Unattend.txt file and everything seems correct. It copies the correct drivers to c:\Drivers\NET folder and I can install

it manually by pointing to the c:\drivers\net folder. The path in unattend.txt is also correct.

OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\scsi;drivers\net;drivers\chipset;drivers\video;windows\system32\drivers"

The Device Path in Registry is also correct. Windows just refuses to install NIC Driver during unattended install and it works fine when I install it manually from

the same folder c:\drivers\net. I have verified my OEM folder structure and it is fine.

Here are some of the lines in my Unattende.txt file:

[unattended]

UpdateInstalledDrivers = Yes

DriverSIgningPolicy=Ignore

UnattendMode=FullUnattended

OemSkipEula=Yes

OemPreinstall=YES

OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\scsi;drivers\net;drivers\chipset;drivers\video;windows\system32\drivers"

Repartition=No

TargetPath=\WINDOWS

WaitForReboot=No

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
