Hi,
I'm trying to perform an unattended installation of
Windows 2000 Advanced Server but don't have access to
Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit. Hence I can't access
the answer file through Setup Manager. Does anyone know if
theres a way around this problem or where I can get an
Answer file from?

Kind regards
Tim
 
There is a sample file in your /i386 folder on the install CD. Look for
unattend.txt The accessible file is setupacc.txt These can be opened and
modified in any text editor to fit your situation. Unless you know all the
available strings, you may have to refer to the MS KB.

setupmgr should be in the deploy.cab located in \support\tools\deploy.cab.

This will create an answerfile template for you.
