Unattended/scripted install

After completing the tasks identified in the prerequisites section, for an unattended install, create an
answer file (UNATTEND.TXT) and a distribution point (I386 folder) where you can save all the
necessary files for installation.
Microsoft offers a utility, SETUPMGR.EXE that allows you to create an answer file and helps you set
up a distribution point. For additional information, refer to the following Microsoft document: HOW
TO: Use Setup Manager to Create an Answer File in the Windows Server Family (Q323438).
CAUTION:
Make sure you add the following line in the unattended section of
the UNATTEND.TXT file.
[UNATTENDED]
NtUpgrade=Yes
If you do not add this line, then Setup will continue with a fresh
install, not an upgrade.
CAUTION:
If you are using the OEMPreinstall flag with the UNATTEND.TXT
file, remove the following:
[UNATTENDED]
OEMPREINSTALL=YES
Upgrades may fail if the OEMPREINSTALL=YES option is enabled.
Depending on the requirement for the applications being installed, a system administrator can write a
very detailed script file to perform many tasks. In our scenario, HP engineers created two batch files
that performed a fully automated upgrade by performing the following steps:
Allow administrator to log on without entering the password.
1.
Launch the upgrade (WINNT32.EXE) from the distribution point/server.
2.
Provide the license key provided by Microsoft and other necessary information until the installation
3.
completes.
