[GuiUnattended]

; Sets the TimeZone. For example, to set the TimeZone for the 

; Pacific Northwest, use a value of "004." Be sure to use the 

; numeric value that represents your own time zone. To look up

; a numeric value, see the Unattend.doc file on the Windows 2000 CD.

TimeZone = "YourTimeZone"

; It is recommended that you change the administrator password 

; before the computer is placed at its final destination.

AdminPassword = AdminPassword

; Tells Unattended Setup to turn AutoLogon on and log on once.

[LicenseFilePrintData]

; This section is used for server installs.

AutoMode = "PerServer"

; It is recommended that you avoid the use of spaces in the 
; ComputerName value.
