Posted this in 2k3 section but nobody knows

[mott]

I was wondering how hard it would be to do an unattended install that converts 2k3 to a workstation. I'm looking at what's been done with the xp unattended intstall section and it looks like most of it could be done, just a few things like enabling graphic exceleration then, we could just have a unattended install script instead of the guide. Of course the second bouns would be no more converting when you do a reinstall, just stick it in and you have a workstation.

I've desided to try and do it on my own, anyone else want to help?

i would think that it would be much the same as Windows XP unattended but without the games and system restore........not sure how to include the games i think you would need the files from xp and place them in the i386 and edit the hive files + dosnet.inf

Couldn't you just use the setupreg.hiv from an xp cd and modify setupp.ini to reflect an xp install, and maybe modify setupsys.inf to make sure the productoptions is right? Or do i have that wrong? All ntswitch does is change the product options registry key.

I hadn't planed to use tweaknt on this because it causes strange things to happen, instabilty and such is what I hear.
