| Why shoud I rename Unattend.txt to *.sif if I'm updating from WinNT? Is this the normal procedure?
Thanks in advance!

| That is if you are doing an unattended install from CD. If unattend.sif is on a floppy, the Install will see that and use that unattended file. | |

| 1. If you are looking to do an unattended install from CD and want the unattended file to run automaticly from floppy without having to use DOS, you would name the file WINNT.SIF. If you don't rename the file WINNT.SIF, don't have it in the root of the floppy and/or don't have the floppy in when you start the computer up, you get the pleasure of manually performing the entire install.
2. If you are looking to use RIS to install the OS from a RIS server, it will use SIF files. When creating a generic RIS image, it creates a file called RISTNDRD.SIF. Should you create a seperate file for a customized install, you will need to use the SIF extension for it to work.
If you want to keep the file name as unattend.txt you will need to use the DOS method, where E: is the location of your CD-ROM and A: is your floppy:
winnt /s:E:\i386 /u:A:\unattend.txt
or
winnt32 /s:E:\i386 /unattend:A:\unattend.txt
Cheers,
