Unattend.txt to Unattend.xml

[RLEE71]

I currently have a scripted method to install Windows 2003 SP2 Server using
an Unattend.txt file. Question is, can one deploy Windows 2003 SP2 Server
with an Unattend.xml file? I know this is possible with Windows 2008 Server,
and MDT is supposed to support Windows 2003 SP2 Server. Just wondering if it
was possible and how one would either create or convert from txt. xml file.

Thanks,
Ron

You can create the unattend.xml file using the Windows System Image Manager
from the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK). Or if you want generate
one on the fly without going through the pain of installing the kit, follow
this link:

Sal,
My issue is that I need an XML specific to Windows 2003 Server. WIll the
link you provided to create an XML file for Vista work on Server 2003? I also
believe that WAIK is only for Server 2008, but I could be wrong.
