To complete this exercise, you will need to install the Windows AIK and have the Windows
Server 2008 installation media available. The unattend.xml file you create will provide the
bare minimum options for providing an unattended installation. You won??™t create a distribution
share for this exercise, but if you are going to create an image that will require the
loading of third-party device drivers or you want to perform unattended installs of other
software during installation, you need to create and use a distribution share. Refer to the
Windows System Image Manager documentation for more advanced options.
1. Log on to the computer where Windows AIK is installed.
2. Insert the Windows Server 2008 installation media into the CD/DVD-ROM
drive.
