Windows Vista Deployment - Autounattend in the Vista DVD

[Guest]

Hello,

I want to know if there’s an option to integrate the Autounattend.XML from
Windows SIM in the Windows Vista DVD as an automatic installation disc, just
like the Winnt.SIF at Windows XP/2K/2K3.
I've searched in all of MSFT articles and find only how-to articles that
describes how to copy the autounattend.XML to the root of floppy disk or USB
flash drive.

I’ll be glad if you can help me to solve this issue,
Thanks,
Netanel.

This may help. I saw a Technet Live Meeting on this and we were emailed
refs following the meeting, and I have a copy of the slides via .pdf and
when I get a chance I'll try to put up some links for you.

Hello Chad,

I saw this article, I was deployed Vista Beta 2 on 50 new HP desktops with
1.44MB FDD and Floppy with Autounattend.XML. but now I want to prepare myself
for large installation without Floppy disk drive (and Yes, I know that
there's an option to deploy Vista with WDS but I want to know about IBS from
DVD).

Thanks.

Hello Netanel,
try locating it in the sources directory on the DVD(installation source).
It should pick it up from there.
Thanks,
