I created an unattended.txt file using the deployment wizard for Windows XP.
I then renamed the file to winnt.sif and put it in the \i386 folder on a CD I
burned.

In the file I have the lines:

[GuiUnattended]
TimeZone=035

All of the other options seem to be working just fine. I also included
default passwords, a product key, etc etc ... all come up just fine in the
installation process.

However, when it gets to the time zone question, it always defaults back to
the Pacifiic time zone. I would like it to default to the Eastern time zone.

What am I doing wrong?

Just for the heck of it, I tried Timezone=35 ... Timezone=035 ...
Timezone="35" and Timezone="035" ... all default to Pacific time.

Thanks,

Jim

I changed my file to read:

Timezone=35

(capital T, everything else lower case... no spaces)

And it still defaulted to Pacific time.

Any other ideas???
