Hello linstead!

The guide describes the procedure for installation from media, like DVD or USB-Stick/HD. If you use WDS, I guess that you're holding your apps on Server. Than just use the UNC path to point to your applications share. You don't need the %appsroot% thing than. That's just to figure out the drive letter of removable media.

what pass do you put and what command do you put it.

Hello linstead!

Audit user and oobe system passes should both work. I prefere audit user pass meanwhile, cause it's easier to do a reboot.

If you use audit user pass, you need to boot to audit mode using sysprep command like described in guide. Than you insert synchronous commands form insert menu and put in like the following command for example:

\\servername\appsshare\Install\Firefox\Firefox_Setup_2_0_0_2.exe -ms

NOET:

You don't need the cmd /c here, like described inside guide. I've used cmd /c to make the AppsRoot variable usable only!
