Sorry guys...I know most of you are way beyond what I've been able to pick up from reading through the forums. I *promise*...I HAVE read the postings before I posted this.

I am a valid (legal) user for PE (SA contact). I need to start up an unattended install for Server 2003 Standard. The *only* thing this needs to do is allow me to install to the old \WINNT folder as a number of our 2K servers had inplace upgrades. For disaster recovery purposes, (as you know) the OS would have to be installed back to the original working folder.

I have my answer file as created with SETUPMGR. I just don't know where to go from here. Does anybody have this documented every step?

Are you looking to install the new OS to that dir ro something else I guess I am confused.

This will be a new unattended install...I just need to get it into the \WINNT folder instead of the default \WINDOWS folder.

See this post, I replied to you in, http://www.msfn.org/board/Unattended-2003-Server-in-t19925.html. And really this isn't PE related more unattended windows related.

I'll have to label this bad boy as a double post.

You can install windows into any directory you want. The process is the same.

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=YES
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
OemPnPDriversPath=
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS

Just change teh TARGETPATH line in teh UNattend.txt
