I figured out (thanks mostly to Firegeier) to install Vista unattended in a network enviroment.

I have some questions about the finetuning:

-How can I disable the Windows Experience Index test during setup ?

-How can I turn off Windows Search during setup ?

-Although i prestaged the computername in Active Directory, Vista creates a random computername

-WDS options -> "Create the client in the following location" doesnt seem to work, the computer account is created

in the standard Computers OU

Solved by adding %Machinename% in Computername (Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup / specialize pass)
