How to Create an Answer File for Running Unattended Exchange Setup

After you have installed your first Exchange 2003 server, you may be able

to install subsequent Exchange servers in unattended mode An

unattended setup of an Exchange 2003 server proceeds and completes without any prompts or dialog boxes Furthermore, an unattended setup creates an answer file that stores information about a sample

configuration The file can then be used to set up Exchange 2003 on multiple servers An answer file contains the deployment parameters and sample configurations so that you can specify what type of installation you want to perform These configurations are normally set when you perform a manual Exchange 2003 installation on one of your servers

Before You Begin

You can run unattended setup for the following procedures:

117

 Installing the second to nth Exchange 2003 server in your

organization

Procedure

To create an answer file for running unattended setup

1 On a server that meets the prerequisites for an Exchange

Server 2003 installation, insert the Exchange CD into your CD-ROM drive

2 From a command prompt, type E:\setup\i386\setup

/createunattend D:\myanswerfile.ini, where E is your CD-ROM

drive, D is your system drive, and myanswerfile.ini represents the

answer file you want to use for your subsequent installations

unattended mode until you click Next on the Summary page At

this point, in a manual setup, Exchange 2003 installation begins

and cannot be cancelled Therefore, ensure that command-line

switches are spelled correctly before attempting to create and use
