Alrighty.. I gots a problem. I have the Unattended.sif file and then the autogenerated unattended.cmd file. I assumed it was needed so i put it there. Than when i make the iso with CD IMAGE GUI or w/e and select the bootfile im told to. I get a 3rd UNATTENDED file.. cept this one is a txt file . I assume they are all needed. I then have my install.cmd script running at RUNGUIONCE or w/e that one is. I forget off the top of my head. The problem is. The OEM files aren't being copied over like they are supposed to. Below is my UNATTENDED.sif file which is located in the I386 folder. and yes it will go thru the entire setup w/o prompting me for anything. Once it reboots it gives me the startup screen which asks for my username and tries to connect to the internet and that sorta thing. Thnx for looking guys and i hope you can help. Let me know if you need anything else.

name this file winnt.sif and youll be set.

and remove your license number from your post.

add another CDKEY to my collection

whats it up to now anyway? 4-5 hundred? heh...

1) Name the file winnt.sif (that is required in the i386 folder.)

2)

 [Unattended]
   UnattendMode=FullUnattended
   OemSkipEula=Yes
   OemPreinstall=Yes
   TargetPath=\WINDOWS           --- first time
   Filesystem=*  
   UnattendedSwitch="yes"
   WaitForReboot="No"
   TargetPath=\WINDOWS           --- second time
   WaitForReboot="No"
   DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

Remove double instances of the same variables

3) Make sure u boot from CD, if u have all above options set (not HD install )

4) http://unattended.msfn.org
