can someone point me in the right direction on using UDF file for unattended install with XP. want to specify computer name, ip address, etc.. in UDF.

Thanks.

Hey

This is what I found in the MS Deploymenttool.cab

winnt32.exe /udf:id[,UDB_file]

Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database (UDB) file modifies an answer file (see the /unattend entry).

The UDB overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDB file are used. For example, /udf:RAS_user,Our_company.udb overrides settings specified for the RAS_user identifier in the Our_company.udb file. If no UDB_file is specified, Setup prompts the user to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file.

If you start the computer from the Windows product CD and run an unattended Setup, you cannot use the /udf command-line option for Winnt32.exe.

I hope this helps!!
