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. ____________________________________ Tony Pombo, Sr. Systems Architect International Truck and Engine Corporation -----Original Message----- From: W2K Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 3:15 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions 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?
