I've found that the unattend.txt syntax is very picky, and a small error can make it fail completely. On servers with multiple NICs you need to identify the individual NICs in unattend.txt using their PCI ID or something similar, which isn't practical if you're moving a single machine config between servers. I've found it more maintainable to just use unattend.txt to do the basics (ie. just answer the compulsory questions during the build) and do everything else in scripts afterwards. > > If I was to hazard a guess, my first instinct would be to check and make > sure that the drivers for the NIC where installed.
