Unattended Setup

[billberge]

Does anyone know what statement to add to the .sif file to have the Recovery Console added during the unattended setup?
I would like to be having it added automatically rather than add id after. Thanks for your help!

This assumes you've copied the \i386 to the HD and run the installation from there. Otherwise the drive letter would be the same as used for the OS install.
I don't run this first but last in my GuiRunOnce section.

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0="C:\i386\winnt32 /cmdcons /unattend"

LOB, Thanks but I'm still not sure where on the .sif to place the entry. Here's a sample .sif file I have been using.
