RIS .sif files - where do my answers get stored?

Hi,
I have just created a RIS answer file using Setup Manager in preparation for
remote installing XP. I printed out the file (remboot.sif) expecting to see
my set of answers but instead I see lines such as OrgName = "%ORGNAME%"
while I expected to see OrgName = "XYZ Company".. Has the process stored my
answers somewhere else which will replace these entries at run time or do I
have to go through the .sif file and manually change all the entries to what
I want? How do I check that my answers are correct if the former is true?

Thanks.
 
Did you link the REMBOOT.SIF to the image through Active Directory Users
and Computers?

Hi Bill,
Yes. If you mean right click on the RIS server then properties, remote
install tab, advanced, images tab then Add...
I have just created another answer file and gone through the above process
again with the same result.
Here is another oddity - There is no C:\whistlerdist folder on my system as
suggested by the answer file:

[SetupMgr]
DistFolder=C:\whistlerdist
DistShare=whistlerdist

Maybe there should be one and that is where the answers would normally be
stored. I don't know, just grasping at straws.

Thanks,
BigAl.
