SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Internet Information Server provides an option for unattended setup
mode. By using a small script, you can set up multiple information servers
quickly and easily. This is useful for large numbers of servers or to install
servers with identical setups for distribution.

MORE INFORMATION
================

You can start an unattended setup for the Microsoft Internet Information Server
from the Internet Server compact disc, however, only the default configuration
can be installed in this case.

You can customize the unattended setup for several servers or to provide a simple
process for over-the-network installations for Internet Explorer users. To
customize the unattended setup, the file, UNATTEND.TXT, (located on the Internet
Server compact disc) must first be copied to your hard drive and modified to
meet your configuration requirements. The file contains more specific
instructions on what values are configurable.

You can mark options to be installed by setting the value for the option to 1
(True); or you can mark options not to be installed by setting the value for the
option to 0 (False).

To start unattended mode Setup, at the command prompt, first change to the
directory containing both the SETUP.EXE and UNATTEND.TXT. Then, type:

  setup -b unattend.txt

Please see the UNATTEND.TXT file for more information.
