Windows 2003 - how to install IIS & TS?

[Mr Snrub]

I have now finished my XP Pro SP2 DVD and I'm happy with it, but I'd like to make an unattended Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition CD now - I can install the pre-SP1 hotfixes, run & kill gdidettool, install MSDE no problem.

But I can't figure out a way to get IIS, COM+, ASP.NET and Terminal Services added during installation too - is it possible?

This is for a rebuild of my web server which is currently Windows 2000 Server, and I want to get it 100% smooth using Virtual PC 2004 SP1 before I touch the server itself.

The Deployment Tool doesn't seem to have any options for components, and I've seen no WINNT.SIF files with anything likely-looking, so is it even possible?

Yes, its possible. Example code from winnt.sif:

[Components]
complusnetwork=on
aspnet=on
terminalserver=on
tswebclient=on
iis_asp=off
iis_common=on
iis_ftp=on
iis_inetmgr=on
iis_internetdataconnector=on
iis_nntp=on
iis_serversideincludes=on
iis_smtp=on
iis_webdav=on
iis_www=on
iis_www_parent=on

Set whatever components you need to on, and whatever you don't need to off.
