Fully automatic windows server 2003 installation

Here are the steps to make a "fully" automatic MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003, ENTERPRISE EDITION installation without user intervention.
You can do two things.


1. Copy and paste next text into any text editor (notepad) and save the file called "winnt.sif" and put this file into the Windows Server 2003 in the "i386" directory in your ISO editor (Winiso). Make a new bootable CDROM and you have a fully userless installation.

Q:
The setup manager insists on naming the output file "unattend.txt". Do I rename this to winnt.sif?

A:
you can save unattend.txt , once saved reopen and save as type "all file: and file name "winnt.sif" the put "winnt.sif" only in i386 folder ( I did it in lower case & did not tried upper case) but i guess should be no problem.

one thing here that in
[Data]
AutoPartition = 1 set for 0 in this way
[Data]
AutoPartition = 0
because it will not format or overwrite drive "C"
it will create new partition or if you have any partition it will goes in differnt drive.

if you set [Data]
AutoPartition = 0
it will ask you want to reformat, or over write and create or other options.
