Hi.
Just started the MCDST home study course

Im on chapter and up to 'Unattended Installation'

It references a series of syntax which i dont understand. Basically i know what it does and from that parts of it are variables but i cant tell which. Please could someone explain it?

winnt/s:sourcepath/u:answerfile/udf:ID,udb_file

also on the same subject...

winnt32 unattended

I have the same problem witht the following syntax. However as most of it is the same it is just the num bit (in square brackets for clarity)

winnt32/unattend[num]:answerfile/udf:id,udb_file

Last thing do either of the commands require .exe at thend?

Thanks in advance for your help

Tom

If you need more info about XP unattended then take a look on your xp cd under support/tools/deploy.cab extract this and inside is everything you need to do an unattended installation.

Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately the website wasnt much use. However the resource you indicated on the cd held the key.

Thanks a lot for your help.
