As the title says, how do I fix the IP adress of the computer during the unattended installation.
I take it I should add it to the sysprep xml file?

That only worked to setup my DNS servers... I found this on another forum, in progress of testing it now

Ok,

I got this to work the static IP, subnet mask and default gateway. The
<identifier> by default is Local Area Connection but could be somthing
else. The IPaddress value with /24 give a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
/16 would give 255.255.0.0 the nexthopipaddress gives the default
gateway. The prefix of 0.0.0.0/0 is something that finally got this to
work. I was getting setup error before this.
