It works like answer file. You can put ur answers to diffrent prompts while installing Windows2000/NT

You can try this GUI program to create ur Winnt.sif file
*www.yeek.com/~qmsfn/winntsif/1.1a.rar
[needs .NET runtimes]
Just put ur winnt.sif into the i386 folder in Win2000 CD. And create a normal bootable cd.
To get full list of what options u can put in Winnt.sif, read
*unattended.msfn.org/global/reference.htm
Although the page is for WinXP u can use most of it for Win2K too.
To Create the most perfect Winnt.sif file download deployment tools for Win2000 from microsoft site.
Then read ref.chm and run setupmgr.exe
