Re: Winnt.exe Unattended Setup for 64-bit Server 2003.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be any help.

We are using a Linux PXE system, from which we are booting WinPE
directly from PXE. When our WinPE boots up, it starts networking, maps
a drive, lets us make some choices for the OS, then starts a network
based install by calling winnt32.exe.

We experimented a little with PE on the HD. But went to network based
instead.

Maybe someone else can help.
