That did the trick!

Thanks for a swift response - less than five minutes!

I've got the following which may be of use to you:

[DCInstall]
    AutoConfigDNS=Yes
    CreateorJoin=Create
    TreeOrChild=Tree
    ReplicaOrNewDomain=Domain
    DomainNetBiosName=MyDomain
    DatabasePath="%systemroot%\NTDS"
    LogPath="%systemroot%\NTDS"
    SysVolPath="%systemroot%\sysvol"
    NewDomainDNSName="local.test"
    RebootOnSuccess=No
    SiteName="MySite"

If this is added to the unattend.txt, dcpromo will automatically run
with these paramaters. Alternatively (this is how I use it), stick these
settings in a separate file called (for example) 1STDC.INF, and use a
separate batch file to perform the DC update at an appropriate point in
the build process:

[createdc.bat]
dcpromo /answer:"z:\site\1stdc.inf"
[end createdc.bat]

[List] Anyone got any ideas on setting an IP Address during the initial
unattend boot?

Subject: RIF: [Unattended] Setting specific IP Address during unattended
install


James, 
here the relevant lines I used some time ago. I did non have a look at
the unattended parser module, but i suppose you could try 
INFID = "*"
 
If it works, pls let me know as I'm to follow the same path.
  
-M
 
[params.Adapter1]
;This key uniquely identifies a network adapter. Its value is the same
as the adapter's PnP ID. ;If InfID = "*", Setup matches the first
enumerated/detected network adapter on the computer with the settings in
this section. Therefore, on a computer with a single network card, you
can specify adapter-specific parameters without knowing the name or type
of the network adapter. 
;Note:  For computers with more than one network adapter, the correct
PnP ID of each of the adapters must be specified. For computers with
multiple adapters of the same type (that is, the PnP ID for each is the
same), the NetCardAddress or PCI location information must be specified.
If neither NetCardAddress nor PCI location is specified, only the first
adapter enumerated/detected that matches the InfID receives the answer
file parameters. ;If NetCardAddress or PCI location is specified, this
parameter is not used because it is the least specific parameter that
can be provided.
;Value: <PnP ID of adapter>
    INFID = *
