Win 2003 Unattended Install


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, I'm posting here since the W2K3 section mentions the similarities to XP.

Thanks to many of the tips posted here, I have my unattened XP disk working great.

Now I need to do the same for W2K3 Server Standard. The source CD is from MSDN as is the Product Key.

Installing using the CD and Product Key works fine.

When I try an unattended install, Setup thinks that the install is an Upgrade and wants a Windows 3.51, NT 4.0 or W2K server disk in the cd to verify that the upgrade qualifies.

I ran setupmgr to create a new winnt.sif and made sure there were no winnt.si_ files anywhere.

Any thoughts.

Thanks

Here is my winnt.sif:
