Answer file setup

Use the tabs in this dialog to enter values to create an answer file for a scripted install.
These values are stored in the Deployment Database. An answer file is generated from
the database (unattend.txt) and distributed to each managed computer when the job
runs.
In the Answer File Setup dialog, select a value (a row) in the table. A list appears in
the Values column to change values for each entry. You can add new variables to each
section by selecting the bottom row named Add new Variable. To add a new section to
the answer file, click the right arrow until the Add new Section tab appears (the last
tab on the right).
The required answer file values are selected automatically in the dialog with a gray
check mark (you cannot clear these variables). Optional but selected values have a
green check mark. Other optional values are cleared. Select these optional values if you
want to add them to the answer file when it is generated.
The various tabs in the Answer File Setup dialog correspond to the general answer file
sections. See the Microsoft Windows Unattended Setup Guide for specific values for an
unattended setup file.
