windows 2003x64 Unattended Static IP

[dthakkar]

I have spent hours trying to get Static IP work in Windows 2003x64 unattended install. I have two Broadcom NICs and in my Answer file I have specified MAC Address of one of the NIC cards but unattended install is totally ignoring it and configures adapter as DHCP. The same answer file works fine with Windows 2003 x86 install. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are the relevant lines from my unattended file:

[NetProtocols]

MS_TCPIP = params.MS_TCPIP

[params.MS_TCPIP]

AdapterSections = params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter01

[params.Adapter01]

NetCardAddress=0x00145E19FFB4

ConnectionName="IBM1"

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter01]

SpecificTo=Adapter01

DHCP=No

WINS=Yes

NetBIOSOptions=1

DNSSuffixSearchOrder = MyCompany.com, MyComapny2.com, MyCompany3.com

DefaultGateway=12.1.9.1

DNSServerSearchOrder=12.1.8.21,12.1.132.10

SubnetMask=255.255.255.0

WINSServerList=12.1.21.32,12.1.11.58

IPAddress=12.1.8.178

Thanks

I resolved the issue by downloading KB920293 and using Netset03.exe in cmdlines.txt.
