SUMMARY
Unattended Setup is the method by which original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), corporations, and other users install Windows NT in unattended mode. To start Windows NT Setup in unattended mode, you must specify the following command:

winnt[32] /u: /s:

where is a file containing information to automate the installation process and is the location of the Windows NT installation files. In this article, is referred to as the Unattend.txt file.



Unattend.txt File Format
In general, an answer file consists of section headers, parameters, and values for those parameters. Most of the section headers are predefined (although some may be user-defined). It is not necessary to specify all the possible parameters and keys in the Unattend.txt file if the installation does not require them. The file format is as follows:

  [section1] ;  ; Section contains keys and the corresponding ; values for those keys/parameters. ; keys and values are separated by "=" signs ; Values usually require double quotes "" around them ;  key = value ..

[section2] key = value ..

Description of Unattend.txt File Parameters
[Unattended] This section header is used to identify whether an unattended installation is being performed or not. It should exist or the Unattend.txt file may be ignored. Parameters that can exist in this section are discussed below.

OemPreinstall Value: Yes | No Determines whether an OEM pre-installation is being performed or not. When the value is Yes, other subdirectories may be copied if they exist. No means a regular unattended Setup is being performed copying only the Inetsrv, System32 and Drvlib.nic subdirectories. If using sysdiff and you performed a sysdiff /inf, this value must be set to Yes.

NoWaitAfterTextMode Value: 0 | 1 This key determines whether the text mode portion of Setup should automatically start into GUI mode or not. It is only valid when OemPreinstall = Yes. The default behavior is to halt after text mode during a preinstallation. 0 indicates that Setup should halt after text mode and 1 indicates that Setup should automatically restart into GUI mode after text mode is complete.

NoWaitAfterGuiMode Value: 0 | 1 This key determines whether the GUI mode portion of Setup should automatically restart to the logon screen or not. It is only valid when OemPreinstall = Yes. The default behavior is to halt at the end of GUI mode Setup. 0 indicates that Setup should halt after GUI mode and 1 indicates that Setup should automatically reboot after GUI mode is complete.

FileSystem Value: ConvertNTFS | LeaveAlone This key specifies whether the primary partition should be converted to NTFS or left alone. In general, partitions greater than 512 megabyte (MB) should be converted to NTFS. If this value is set to "CovertNTFS" it is done after the first restart of unattended setup.

ExtendOemPartition Value: 0 | 1 The ExtendOemPartition key is used to install Windows NT on a disk that is larger than 2 gigabytes (GB) in size. This key causes text-mode Setup to extend the partition on which the temporary Windows NT sources are located into any available unpartitioned space that physically follows it on the disk. The temporary install source must be a primary partition and limited to 1024 cylinders only. Writing beyond the 1024th cylinder may cause the installation to stop responding. 0 implies that the partition may not be extended and 1 indicates that it must be extended. When the value is 1, the FileSystem key must be set to ConvertNTFS. When the value is set to 1, oempreinstall must be equal to yes.

For example if you have a 10 GB hard disk, most MS-DOS based partitioning tools only allow you to create a 2GB partition. When you have this value set to "1", setup extends the drive out to the maximum of 7.8GB.

This is based on how the drive is translated by the system / controller BIOS, and may be less than the maximum of 7.8GB. If the drive is being translated using CHS values of 1024 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors per track, then you can extend to volume to the 7.8GB limit, however, if the Sectors per track is only 32, the maximum partition size will be reduced in half or approximately 4GB. The same holds true if the number if heads is reduced. Make sure you have drive translation "enabled" in the system/controller bios to make sure you can grow the partition to the maximum permitted size of 7.8GB. ConfirmHardware Value: Yes | No This key determines whether a user should manually confirm hardware and mass storage devices detected by the Setup program. Yes indicates that a user must manually confirm the hardware detected and No implies Setup should install the detected devices. For a complete unattended installation, this key should be set to No.

NtUpgrade Values: Yes | No | Manual | Single This key determines whether a previous version of Windows NT Workstation or Server should be upgraded or not. It should be set in order to perform an upgrade. Yes indicates that the detected Windows NT installation should be upgraded. If multiple installations are detected, the first installation found is upgraded. No implies that the upgrade should be aborted if a Windows NT installation is found. This is the appropriate value when OemPreinstall = Yes. Manual implies that the user must specify which previous installation should be upgraded. Single indicates that the upgrade should continue only if a single Windows NT installation is found. If multiple installations are found, the user must manually select which installation to upgrade.

Win31Upgrade Values: Yes | No The Win31Upgrade key determines whether previous installations of Windows or Windows for Workgroups 3.x should be upgraded to Windows NT. Yes indicates that the Windows installation should be upgraded and No means do not upgrade the installation if found.

OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade Values: Yes | No This key determines whether OEM-supplied files that have the same name as Windows NT system files should be overwritten during an unattended upgrade or not. Yes means overwrite the files and No means do not overwrite if found. The default behavior is to overwrite OEM-supplied files.

TargetPath Values: * | | Manual This key determines the installation directory in which Windows NT should be installed, and implies that Setup should generate a unique directory name for the installation. This is usually WINNT.x where x is 0, 1, and so on. is user-defined installation directory. Manual indicates that Setup should prompt the user to enter the installation path. Note, do not use drive letters in this value. For example if you want to have Windows NT installed to winnt40, your unattend.txt should have the value:

<pre class="fixed_text"> TargetPath = \winnt40

NOTE: Do not use drive letters such as c:\winnt or d:\winntws. To specify a drive other than the boot partition, you must use the commandline switch /t: with your setup command. For example, winnt32.exe /t:d: to install Windows NT to the D drive.

<pre class="fixed_text">ComputerType Values: [, Retail | OEM] This key indicates the type of Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to be loaded by the Setup Loader, and installed by text-mode Setup. If this key is not present, Setup attempts to detect the type of computer and install the appropriate retail HAL. It is only valid when OemPreinstall = Yes. The string identifies the HAL to be installed. It must match one of the strings in the [Computer] section of the Txtsetup.sif file (for a retail HAL), or the Txtsetup.oem file (for an OEM HAL). Retail informs Setup that the HAL to be installed is part of the Windows NT product. OEM indicates that the HAL to be loaded is OEM- supplied. If the HAL is OEM-supplied, the driver name must also be listed in the [OemBootFiles] section of the Unattend.txt file. Listed below are some examples of these values:

<pre class="fixed_text">  Descriptions are from the COMPUTER Section of TXTSETUP.SIF --  ComputerType = "AST Manhattan SMP","RETAIL" ComputerType = "Compaq SystemPro Multiprocessor or 100% Compatible","RETAIL" ComputerType = "Corollary C-bus Architecture","RETAIL" ComputerType = "Corollary C-bus Micro Channel Architecture","RETAIL" ComputerType = "IBM PS/2 or other Micro Channel-based PC","RETAIL" ComputerType = "MPS Uniprocessor PC","RETAIL" ComputerType = "MPS Multiprocessor PC","RETAIL" ComputerType = "MPS Multiprocessor Micro Channel PC","RETAIL" ComputerType = "NCR System 3000 Model 3360/3450/3550","RETAIL" ComputerType = "Olivetti LSX5030/40","RETAIL" ComputerType = "Standard PC","RETAIL" ComputerType = "Standard PC with C-Step i486","RETAIL" ComputerType = "Wyse Series 7000i Model 740MP/760MP","RETAIL"

If you have your own special HAL, your line should read as follows:

<pre class="fixed_text">  ComputerType = "This is my special HAL","OEM"

Remember that when you use an OEM supplied HAL, the driver name must also exist in the [OemBootFiles] section.

<pre class="fixed_text">KeyboardLayout Value: This key indicates the type of keyboard layout to install. If this key does not exist, Setup detects and install a keyboard layout. must match one of the right hand strings (in "") in the ["Keyboard Layout"] section of the Txtsetup.sif file.

Example:

166028 Installing 3rd-Party Video drivers with Txtsetup.oem Unattended

You can use the next three parameters instead of the [DisplayDriver], [OemBootFiles] sections and custom Txtsetup.oem files to install third- party video drivers. The drivers and files required by the video adapter should exist in the $OEM$\Display directory on the distribution share point.

<pre class="fixed_text">InstallDriver Value: 0 | 1 This key specifies whether a third-party driver is being installed or not. If value is 0, the InfFile and InfOption keys are skipped.

<pre class="fixed_text">InfFile Values:, , ... This key specifies a list of .inf file names for display drivers to be installed. You can specify only one .inf file per driver. That is, S3.inf, Matrox.inf, and so on.

<pre class="fixed_text">InfOption Values:, , ... Specifies a list of options that should be selected from the corresponding .inf files specified with the InfFile key. For example, the display tool installs the S3 765 entry in the S3.inf file and the Millennium 3D entry in the Matrox.inf file if the following keys are specified:

<pre class="fixed_text">  InfFile = s3.inf, matrox.inf InfOption = S3 765, Millennium 3D

[Modem] This section header is used to identify whether a modem should be installed or not. It is used by Remote Access Services (RAS) to install a modem if DeviceType = Modem in the list of RAS parameters. This section cannot be empty if you want to install modems using RAS in unattended mode.

<pre class="fixed_text">InstallModem Value: This key defines a section where modem installation parameters are defined. The key must exist in order to install any modems.

<pre class="fixed_text">

[ ] The modem parameter section lists the keys and values required to install a modem on a particular COM port. If the [ ] section is blank, RAS performs modem detection on its preconfigured ports and install any modems it finds.

<pre class="fixed_text"><COM port number> Values: <Modem description> [, <Manufacturer>, <Provider>] The <COM port number> key specifies the COM ports on which modems are installed. The COM port numbers must match ports configured or to be configured by the RAS installation. <Modem description> must match a modem description in a Mdmxxxxx.inf file that corresponds to the modem to be installed. This string must be enclosed in quotation marks. The <Manufacturer> and <Provider> fields are optional fields that identify the manufacturer and provider of a particular modem in cases where the string is not unique to a particular manufacturer.

An example of the [Modem] section is listed below:

<pre class="fixed_text">  [Modem] InstallModem = MyModemParameters

[MyModemParameters] Com2 = "Hayes V-Series Ultra Smartmodem 9600"

[Network] This section informs Setup that Networking should be installed. If empty, the user may be presented with various error messages. If this section header is absent; network installation may be skipped.

<pre class="fixed_text">Attended Value: Yes | No This key is specified if you want the user to install networking manually during an unattended installation. The value is ignored so if you want a complete unattended installation, this key should not be specified at all.

<pre class="fixed_text">JoinWorkgroup Value: This key is used to define the workgroup in which the computer may participate.

<pre class="fixed_text">JoinDomain Value: This key is used to define the domain in which the computer may participate.

<pre class="fixed_text">CreateComputerAccount Values: , This key enables the computer account to be created during setup. The username and password is for a domain account that has the right Add Workstations To Domain. Note that for this value to work, the network card must be able to contact the Domain controller. This is crucial for computers that are only using the TCPIP protocol and Domain controller is on a different segment. We must have a way to resolve the IP address. If the account does not have the privileges to add workstations to the domain or cannot contact the domain controller, setup prompts you that it is unable to create the account and bring you back to the Join domain dialog.

<pre class="fixed_text">InstallDC Value: This key is used to specify the name of a domain to be installed. It is only valid when installing a primary or backup domain controller and the AdvServerType key has been set accordingly.

<pre class="fixed_text">DetectAdapters Value: | "" This key is used to detect network adapter cards installed on a computer. Either this key or the InstallAdapters key must exist in order to install network cards. If the value is "", the first card detected may be installed.

<pre class="fixed_text">InstallAdapters Value: This key defines a section in which the network adapters to be installed are listed. If this key is present, the adapters listed in the section are installed by default, they are not detected.

<pre class="fixed_text">InstallProtocols Value: This key defines a section in which the network protocols to be installed are listed.

<pre class="fixed_text">InstallServices Value: This key defines a section in which the network services to be installed are listed. Listed below is a list of services that can be installed during unattended setup:

<pre class="fixed_text">  NWWKSTA - Client service for Netware SNMP = SNMP service RAS = Remote access service NETMON = Network monitor STCPIP = Simple TCPIP TCPPRINT = TCPIP Printing service INETSTP = Install internet server SAP = SAP service

<pre class="fixed_text">InstallInternetServer Value: <internet information server parameters> This key defines a section in which parameters for installing the Internet Information Server(IIS) are listed. During installation on Windows NT Server, IIS is installed by default.

<pre class="fixed_text">

[<Detect Adapters Section>] This section is pointed to by the DetectAdapters key described earlier.

<pre class="fixed_text">DetectCount Value: <number of detection attempts> Indicates the number of detection attempts Setup should make.

<pre class="fixed_text">LimitTo Value: This key specifies a list of netcard .inf options to which the detection should be limited. The netcard .inf options for particular cards can be found in the [Options] section of the corresponding Oemnadxx.inf file. For example:

<pre class="fixed_text">  LimitTo = AMDPCN

<pre class="fixed_text">

[<Install Adapters Section>] <Netcard Inf option> = ,

<Netcard Inf option> Value: This key points Setup to the section that contains descriptions for a particular network adapter card. The for particular cards can be found in the [Options] section of the corresponding Oemnadxx.inf files. Example:

<pre class="fixed_text">  [Installadapters] AMDPCN = AMDPCNParameters

The oem_path points to the location of the OEM supplied files. If the path starts with a drive letter, then the literal path is used to find the OEM driver. If, however, the path starts with a backwards slash (\), then the path given may be appended to the path to the installation source. Example: for a driver located in $OEM$\NET\subdirectory_a, oem_path would be set to \$OEM$\NET\subdirectory_a.

<pre class="fixed_text">

[ ] This section contains the parameters for a particular network adapter card whose has been specified in the [<Detect Adapters Section>] or the [<Install Adapters Section>] of the Unattend.txt file. These values can be found by parsing the appropriate Oemnadxx.inf, or oemsetup.inf file for the network card. They can also be found by looking the in the registry of a Window NT computer with the adapter already installed and functioning properly. To do this, use Regedt32.exe and look in the following registry key:
