Hi,

Then I describe the matter.

I have an issue an unattended installation of Win2k3 Server from a Win2k3
ISO in a clean computer.
Below the steps that I performed:

1) Created an unatended file with Setup Manager, with all my customized
settings, especially the fully unattended mode;
2) Rename the file unattend.txt in WINNT.SIF and copy into a ISO;
3) Start the computer with the Win2k3 ISO;
4) The installation starts and all works fine;

Here is my winnt.sif

The task made only one huge partition on my disk/LUN.
Is there an option that permits to sizing and partitioning my disk/LUN.

Thank You in advance.

Simone,

It depends on the make of server you are using. We use HP servers and
if the array controller hasnt been configured during the initial boot
up it automatically configures the array for optimal use, you have to
press ESC to stop it doing this.

Hope this helps.
