so how exactly do i go about making an unattended install cd for server 2003?

i have found tons of info for doing this on xp, not much luck for 2003.

any info is much appreciated.

Do read this guide first:

http://unattended.msfn.org/

The process is much the same for server 2k3 as well.

@AaronXP:

I'm amazed to see that the WinServer 2003 section of the guide is not present anymore at the above location - has it been moved elsewhere?

xp and server 2003 are the same for unattended. For specific server 2003 info see my site - gosh.msfnhosting.com/server2003.htm
