SUMMARY
The command for unattended setup, WINNT /U, does not run as stated on page
99 of the "Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit Volume 1: Windows NT Resource
Guide." It states that syntax for the command is:
-or-
The WINNT /U switch does not work without the /S:<SOURCE PATH> switch, as specified in the SETUPMGR.TXT file provided with the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit software. NOTE: WINNT32 /U works as documented in the "Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit Volume 1: Windows NT Resource Guide." MORE INFORMATION
The following information, taken from the SETUPMGR.TXT file, correctly
documents the use of the unattended setup command:
If you use the WINNT /U command without adding the /S<SOURCE PATH> switch, Windows NT command help is displayed, just as it is when you run WINNT with the /? switch; it lists all of the documented switches for the WINNT command, but does not start Windows NT Setup. USE OF THE / B SWITCHThe SETUPMGR.TXT file also states, in the following text, that the use of the /B switch is optional when you run WINNT; it is not.
Contrary to this statement, just specifying the /U switch will include the floppy diskless setup feature. The functionality of the /B switch is included in the /U switch, and therefore does not need to be specified at the command line. The /B switch is correctly documented on page 99 of the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit Volume 1: Windows NT Resource Guide.
