This is a great question. I apologize that our documentation is not
up to the task.
This would make a great example if anyone wants to start collecting a
FAQ...

Technically C:\netinst\unattend.txt.

In particular, look over the [_meta] section.
If you create Z:\site\unattend.txt with the following contents, it
should do most of what you want:
[_meta]
; Use LBA extensions for fdisk
fdisk_lba = 1
; Whole drive C:
fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:100,100;fdisk /delete
/pri:1;fdisk /prio:2000;fdisk /activate:1"
; Format C:
format_cmd = "format /y /q /v: c:"
; Replace MBR
replace_mbr = 1
; Add users to local admins group
local_admins = "user1 user2 user3"
; Run base.bat when finished
top = base.bat
The "install all drivers" part is harder. You could manually copy
OemPnPDriversPath from a completed installation and add it to the
[Unattended] section of Z:\site\unattend.txt. That will work, but it
will not automatically update itself when you add new drivers. To get
it working automatically will require a little Perl code to compute
the OemPnPDriversPath value.
Try putting something like the following in Z:\site\config.pl (code
mostly cribbed from &ask_oem_pnp_drivers_path):
======================================================================
use warnings;
use strict;
$u->{'Unattended'}->{'OemPnPDriversPath'} =
sub {
my $media_obj = Unattend::WinMedia->new ($u->{'_meta'}->{'OS_media'});
my @pnp_driver_dirs = $media_obj->oem_pnp_dirs (1);
# No driver directories means no drivers path
scalar @pnp_driver_dirs > 0
or return undef;
print "...found some driver directories.\n";
my $ret = join ';', @pnp_driver_dirs;
# Setup does not like empty OemPnPDriversPath
$ret =~ /\S/
or undef $ret;
return $ret;
}
======================================================================
Let me know how it goes.
