Unattended upgrade

[john wen]

I have encountered a MCSE question as follows and I hope
you can provide explanation of the selected answer.


You are the administrator of the network supporting
computers running Windows NT Workstation 4.0. You are
planning to upgrade some computers to Windows 2000. YOu
create an answer file for an unattended upgrade, but when
you test the upgrade process on five computers, all user
settings are lost. Indicate which line you should change
to successfully upgrade to windows 2000 professional while
preserving user setting.

Unattend.txt :

AutoPartition=1
MsDosInitiated = "0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]

And the answer is:

NtUpgrade
Values: Yes | No | Manual | Single

This key determines whether a previous version of Windows
NT Workstation or Server should be upgraded or not. It
should be set in order to perform an upgrade. Yes
indicates that the detected Windows NT installation
should be upgraded. If multiple installations are
detected, the first installation found is upgraded. No
implies that the upgrade should be aborted if a Windows
NT installation is found. This is the appropriate value
when OemPreinstall = Yes. Manual implies that the user
must specify which previous installation should be
upgraded. Single indicates that the upgrade should
continue only if a single Windows NT installation is
found. If multiple installations are found, the user must
manually select which installation to upgrade.
