Switch Function
/udf:id[,udb_file] Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a UDF modifies
an answer file. The UDF file overrides values in the answer file,
and the identifier determines which values in the UDF file are used.
For example, /udf:RAS_user, Our_company.udf overrides settings that
are specified for the RAS_user identifier in the Our_company.udf file.
If you do not specify a UDF file, Setup prompts you to insert a disk
that contains the $Unique$.udf file.
/unattend Upgrades your previous version of Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows
NT 4.0, or Windows 2000 in unattended mode (without user
input). Setup downloads the Dynamic Update files from Windows
Update and includes these files in the installation. All user settings are
taken from the previous installation, so no user intervention is
required during Setup.
/unattend[num]:[answer_file]
Lesson Review
Performs a fresh installation of Windows in unattended mode using
the specified answer file. Setup downloads the Dynamic Update files
from the Windows Update website and includes these files in the
installation. The specified num value indicates the number of seconds
between the time that Setup finishes copying the files and when Setup
restarts. You can use num on any computer running Windows 98,
Windows Me, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows
XP. The specified answer_file provides Setup with your custom
specifications.
