Overview of Unattended Installations
At several points during a standard installation, Setup requires that the user provide information, such as the time zone, network settings, and so on. One way to automate an installation is to create an answer file that supplies the required information. Answer files are really just text files that contain responses to some, or all, of the questions that Setup asks during the installation process. After creating an answer file, you can apply it to as many computers as necessary.
However, there also are certain settings that must be unique to each computer, such as the computer name. To answer this need, Windows Setup Manager also allows the creation of a file called a uniqueness database file (UDF), which is used in conjunction with the standard answer file. The UDF contains the settings that are unique to each computer.

What Windows Setup Manager Does
Windows Setup Manager provides a wizard-based interface that allows you to quickly create an answer file for an unattended installation of Windows 10. Windows Setup Manager enables you to create scripts to perform customized installations on workstations and servers that meet the specific hardware and network requirements of your organization.
You can create or modify an answer file, typically named unattended, by using Window:
Setup Manager. You can also create answer files with a simple text editor, such as Note pad, but using the Windows Setup Manager reduces errors in syntax.
Windows Setup Manager does the following:
Provides a wizard with an easy-to-use graphical interface with which you can cre ate and modify answer files
Makes it easy to create UDFs (typically named unattendudb)
A uniqueness database file (UDF) provides the abi|ity to specify per-computer parameters. The UDF modifies an installation by overriding values in the answer file. When you run Setup with Winnt32.exe, you use the /udf:id[,UDF_fiIename] switch. The UDF overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier (id) determines which values in the .udb file are used.
Makes it easy to specify computer-specific or user-specific information
Simplifies the inclusion of application setup scripts in the answer file
Creates the distribution folder that you use for the installation files
If you are upgrading systems to Windows 10. you can add any application upgrades or update packs to the distribution folder and enter the appropriate commands in the Additional Commands page of the Windows Setup Manager Wizard so that these upgrades or update packs are applied to the application as part of the upgrade.

How to Start an Unattended Installation
To perform an installation, you can use the unattendbat file created by the Windows Setup Manager. This batch file simply uses the winnt32.exe command to start the installation, supplying parameters based on the location you saved the files to when you ran Windows Setup Manager. You can modify this batch file to suit your needs or simply Start Setup from the command line yourself (the most common way to start an unattended installation). To star Setup from the command line (or modify the batch file), you must use a specific parameter and indicate the location of the answer file.To use the winntexe command from a Microsoft MS-DOS command prompt to perform a clean installation of Windows 10, you must use the following syntax:
winnt [/s:$ourcePaIb] [/u:answer/?le] [/udleD [,UDBJiIell
