winnt [/s:sourcepath] [/t:tempdrive] [/u:answer file][/udf:id [,UDB_file]] [/r:folder][/rx:folder][/e:command][/a]

Parameters

/s:sourcepath

Specifies the source location of the Windows 2000 files. The location must be a full path of the form x:\[path] or \\server\share[\path].

/t:tempdrive

Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified drive and to install Windows 2000 on that drive. If you do not specify a location, Setup attempts to locate a drive for you.

/u:answer file

Performs an unattended Setup using an answer file. The answer file provides answers to some or all of the prompts that the end user normally responds to during Setup. You must also use /s.

/udf:id [,UDB_file]

Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database (UDB) file modifies an answer file (see /u). The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDB file are used. If no UDB_file is specified, Setup prompts you to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file.

/r:folder

Specifies an optional folder to be installed. The folder remains after Setup finishes.

/rx:folder

Specifies an optional folder to be copied. The folder is deleted after Setup finishes.

/e:command

Specifies a command to be executed at the end of GUI-mode Setup.

/a

Enables accessibility options.
