As part of my unattended install of W2K3, I would like to have the icons on the desktop default to auto-arrange.

How can I do this? I've tried a couple of different registry settings, which seem to have had no effect whatsoever. Is there a better way to do it?

I'm no expert with 2003, but I presume a lot of the registry keys are shared with XP so hopefully this would work for you.

Unfortunately I tried the keys spelled out in that thread, and it didn't work for me.

I beleive the settings are the same. You just have to make sure they don't get overwritten. For example, this post provides the solution. Instead of importing someone else's settings, export yours, and then import them.
