Force Unattended to Ask for two things...

Is it possible to make an unattended installtion of XP Pro proceed
completely without user intervention EXCEPT to ask for a computer name and
network settings? I have a lot of workstations that need to have specific
names and ip addresses before they join a domain.

Thanks!

Don't include the "Computername" field in your winnt.sif/unattend.txt file.
It will ask.

Probably something just as simple for the Networking - cannot recall at the
moment - not enough sleep. It's likely in the help files from deploy.cab.

Sounds like you would benefit from pages like:
