The syntax is as follows (obtainable from winnt.exe /?):
WINNT [/s[:sourcepath]] [/t[:tempdrive]]
[/u[:answer file]] [/udf:id[,UDF_file]]
[/r:folder] [/r[x]:folder] [/e:command] [/a]
/s[:sourcepath]
Specifies the source location of the Windows 2000 files.
The location must be a full path of the form x:[path] or
\servershare[path].
/t[:tempdrive]
Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified
drive and to install Windows 2000 on that drive. If you do
do not specify a location, Setup attempts to locate a drive
for you.
/u[:answer file]
Performs an unattended Setup using an answer file (requires
/s). The answer file provides answers to some or all of the
prompts that the end user normally responds to during Setup.
/udf:id[,UDF_file]
Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how
a Uniqueness Database File (UDF) modifies an answer file
(see /u).The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer
file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDF
file are used. If no UDF_file is specified, Setup prompts
you to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file.
/r[:folder]
Specifies an optional folder to be installed. The folder
remains after Setup finishes.
/rx[:folder]
Specifies an optional folder to be copied. The folder is
deleted after Setup finishes.
/e Specifies a command to be executed at the end of GUI-mode Setup.
/a Enables accessibility options.

Subject: Unattend install - commands to launch
I created a unattended install this and I had read in a few places that the
proper syntax for starting the install would be:
Winnt32 /unattend:path-to-winnt.sif /s:path-to-cd-i386
Well, I was starting the install from a dos boot instead, so I assumed it
would be:
Winnt /unattend:path-to-winnt.sif /s:path-to-cd-i386
Well I found in fine print that when launching from a dos install, the
sintax should be:
Winnt /u:path-to-winnt.sif /s:path-to-cd-i386
I have read this only on one site, and can not find this on the ms site.
They all refernce to the first two syntax - yet when I tried my first one,
the install asked me to accept the agreement, enter the machine name, etc
etc - even though I had created the unattend file.
Can someone confirm this?
