Correct Syntax for Multiple NICs in unattend.txt

[Zaker]

Windows 2003 x64 w/SP2

What is the correct syntax to configure multiple NICs in the unattend.txt?

I have 4 NICs in each server, 2 onboard, 2 on a multiport card.

Of course each will have different settings.

So far everything I try bombs and it ignores all NIC settings.

Thanks.

Maybe if I add more info I wil get a response...

I am building IBM x3850 8864 servers.

They each have 4 Ethernet adapters.

1 onboard dualport Broadcom card

1 external dualport Intel card

To configure all NICS in the unattend.txt, I believe I need to specify which NIC is which.

If I put a line like the following in each params.Adapter1 section, will this work for many servers,

or is the INFID specific to EACH card.

[params.Adapter1]

InfID="PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1648&SUBSYS_02E71014&REV_10\3&2411E6FE&0&09"

Please advise...

Looking for someone to feel sorry for me and help.... :>

I tried configuring just 2 of the 4 cards, the onboard dualport Broadcom, didn't work.

I think that the server flips the INFID from server to server build, so my config fails.

Meaning on 1 server build Local Connection 1 was the 008 adapter, and on the next server

Local Connection 1 was the 009 adapter.

Here is my Netadapter section, please advise.

I am in a real pinch here on this one, thanks.
