Unattended, A Windows Deployment System

Unattended. From their site:

Features include:

  • Automated install of operating system, hotfixes and applications.
  • Full documentation and source code.
  • Support for floppy, CD-ROM, and "nothing but net" installs.
  • True unattended installation, not disk imaging.
  • No Windows servers required; use your Unix servers instead.
  • No Unix servers required; use your Windows servers after all.
  • Completely free.

When you are finished setting up Unattended, you will be able to boot any PC from a floppy, from a CD-ROM, or directly from the network, answer a few questions, and come back an hour or two later to a fully-installed Windows workstation.


Update: I gave it a look-see, and it looks like it would be useful for Windows 2003, and that's about it. Considering deployments of that are dropping off of a cliff, it doesn't look useful.
