SUMMARY
The unattended installation process with Terminal Server is the same as the process for Windows NT Server with three exceptions. The answer file has a new option for the number of client licenses and whether to install Internet Explorer 4.0, and Sysdiff needs to be run in Terminal Server's Installation Mode.



Answer file
Here is a sample answer file for unattended setup. Note that this file would need to be modified for your environment (for example, computer name, paths, license numbers). [Unattended] OemPreinstall = yes NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1 FileSystem = LeaveAlone ExtendOEMPartition = 0 ConfirmHardware = no  NtUpgrade = no   Win31Upgrade = no   TargetPath = WTSUAS OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = no

[UserData] FullName = "BVT Bench" OrgName = "MS" ComputerName = BRADG-UNATTEND

[GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome = 1 OEMBlankAdminPassword = 1 TimeZone = "(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana" AdvServerType = SERVERNT

[LicenseFilePrintData] AutoMode = PerServer AutoUsers = 9999

[TerminalServerDesktops] Quantity = 5

[InternetExplorer] InstallIE4 = yes

[Display] ConfigureAtLogon = 0 BitsPerPel = 8 XResolution = 640 YResolution = 480 VRefresh = 60 AutoConfirm = 1

[Network] DetectAdapters = "" InstallProtocols = ProtocolsSection InstallServices = ServicesSection InstallInternetServer = InternetParamSection JoinDomain = ntwksta CreateComputerAccount = ntwksta, ntwksta

[ProtocolsSection] NBF = NBFParamSection TC = TCParamSection NWLNKIPX = NWLNKIPXParamSection

[NBFParamSection]

[TCParamSection] DHCP=yes

[NWLNKIPXParamSection]

[ServicesSection]

[InternetParamSection] InstallDir = C:\Inetsrv InstallINETSTP = 1 InstallWWW = 1 WWWRoot = C:\Inetsrv\WWWRoot InstallGOPHER = 1 GopherRoot = C:\Inetsrv\GopherRoot InstallFTP = 1 FTPRoot = C:\Inetsrv\FTPRoot InstallADMIN = 1 InstallW3SAMP = 1 InstallHTMLA = 1

Applications and Sysdiff
If you are preloading software and plan to use Sysdiff, the only difference between usage in Windows NT and Terminal Server is that, with Terminal Server, you should install applications and run Sysdiff in Installation Mode.

To enter Installation Mode, do one of the following:

 Type the following command at an MS-DOS command prompt:

Change User /Install

 Install applications through the Control Panels Add/Remove Programs tool.

Applications should be tested for full client functionality before using the Terminal Server as a template for other servers. You can run applicable application compatibility scripts, register .dll files, modify application compatibility flags, and so on before using the server as a template.
