Unattended is a system which fully automates the installation of Windows 2000 and XP workstations (sort of like an open-source RIS). Version 2.1 fixes some bugs and knows how to avoid rebooting if the partition table does not change.

"Unattended" is a system for fully automating the deployment of Windows workstations, using Windows or Unix servers on the back end.
