Question : Problem: Want to create unattend windows disk that does a silent unattended install of citrix
Does anybody have a sample winnt.sif that installs windows and a silent install of citrix?
[GuiRunOnce].
Answer : Problem: Want to create unattend windows disk that does a silent unattended install of citrix
Check the PS4 server CD /support/install folder. There is an unattended script that you can after you configure the first server in the farm. This can be run on the additional servers you need to add to the farm.

Here it is (after modified to your specifications, this file is run with the UnattendedInstall.exe file, which can be put in a batch file for your unattended installation disk). You can also run settings with the MPS.msi file all from a command line (I don't have an example).

* - Complete the Farm Settings section
*
* 2. To create a farm using an MSDE database:
* - Set CreateFarm to Yes
* - Set LocalDBType to SQL
* - Set DirectConnect to No
* - Complete the Farm Settings section
*
* 3. To create a farm using an Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server or
* IBM DB2 database:
* - Set CreateFarm to Yes

*
* Specify the name of the Zone where this server will reside.
* If no Zone name is specified, a default Zone name is applied
* to the first server in a farm. If no Zone name is specified
* for servers joining a farm, the servers are added to the Zone
* where the farm resides.
*
* If you are using an Oracle, SQL Server or DB2 database,
* manually create a .DSN file within the ODBC Data Source
* Administrator "File DSN" option before running the unattended
* installation process.
*
* IMPORTANT: Read the MetaFrame Presentation Server
* documentation for information about data store configuration,
* supported databases, setting up a DSN file, moving servers

* Citrix XML Service
*
* This section allows you to specify how you want to add XML
* support.
*
* The default port is 80 for the XML service.
* You can share the default port 80 with IIS (if installed) or
* you can dedicate a port for the XML Service.
*
* If ExtendIIS is set to No, the specified port is used for the
* Citrix XML Service, and EnableVirtualScripts is ignored.
* If ExtendIIS is set to No and IIS is installed (or any
* service already using port 80), Citrix XML Service takes the
* secondary default port as 8080.
*
* If ExtendIIS is set to Yes, DedicatedPortNumber is ignored
* and EnableVirtualScripts is used to decide if virtual scripts
* directory will be created ONLY if VirtualScriptsDirectory
* does not yet exist on the system. If it exists,
* EnableVirtualScripts has no effect on the installation.
* If you do set ExtendIIS to Yes and IIS is not available, the
* dedicated port number is used.
* If you do set ExtendIIS to Yes and IIS exists and
* VirtualScriptsDirectory does not yet exist on the system but
* EnableVirtualScripts is set to No, installation fails.
*
* If you do not use the default port 80, all Citrix ICA Clients
* using TCP/IP with HTTP server location and NFuse-enabled Web

* Options
*
* This section contains additional options for unattended
* installation.
* RebootOnFinish specifies whether Setup shuts down and restarts
* the server after the installation completes.
*
* If you set RebootOnFinish to No, manually restart the server
* before using MetaFrame Presentation Server.
*
*
* LogLevel specifies the granularity of logging in the log
* file.
*
* To disable logging, set LogLevel to No.
*
* To configure logging, set LogLevel to one of the following:
* * everything (the same as using the options
* oicewarmup)
* v verbose
* o out of disk space
* i informational messages
* c command line parameters
* e error messages
* w warning messages
* a action execution messages
* r informational messages for the currently
* running action
* m out of memory errors
* u user request messages
* p property values
* + append to an existing log file
* ! flush each line to the log
* x extra debugging information - for Windows 2003
* only;
* using the x option when installing on Windows
* 2000 Server generates a usage error.
*
* Logfile specifies the path to the log file for the
* installation.
*
*
* UILevel specifies how much UI the user sees during
* the silent installation. Default is BASIC_UI_NO_MODAL.
* You can set UILevel according to one of the following:
*
* NO_UI
* BASIC_UI
* BASIC_UI_NO_MODAL
* BASIC_UI_MODAL
* REDUCED_UI
*
* NO_UI is equivalent to the msiexec q option. Setup
* displays no UI.
*
* BASIC_UI is equivalent to the msiexec qb option. Setup
* displays basic UI, but hides Cancel buttons.
*
* BASIC_UI_NO_MODAL is equivalent to the msiexec qb-
* option. Setup displays no modal dialog boxes.
*
* BASIC_UI_MODAL is equivalent to the msiexec qb+ option.
* Setup displays no UI except for a modal dialog box
* at the end of the installation.
*
* REDUCED_UI is equivalent to the msiexec qr option.
* Setup displays a reduced UI without a modal dialog box
* at the end of the installation.
*
*
* IgnoreMCM specifies whether Setup shows an error
* message if it detects an installation of MetaFrame
* Conferencing Manager prior to version 3.0.
*
* If IgnoreMCM is set to No, Setup generates an error
* and exits if it detects an incompatible version
* of MetaFrame Conferencing Manager.
*
* Set IgnoreMCM to Yes, if you do not want Setup to
* generate an error and exit if it detects an incompatible
* version of MetaFrame Conferencing Manager.
*
* Versions of MetaFrame Conferencing Manger prior to
* version 3.0 are not compatible with MetaFrame Presentation
* Server. Before upgrading MetaFrame Presentation Server,
* upgrade MetaFrame Conferencing Manager to version 3.0.
* For more information, please see MetaFrame Conferencing
* Manager 4.0 Administrator's Guide. Upgrades for MetaFrame
* Conferencing Manager are available to all active
* members of the Subscription Advantage program
* (
http://www.citrix.com/sa
)
.
*
*
* RemoveWITurnkey determines whether Setup shows an
* error message after detecting that you are upgrading from an
* earlier version of the product, and you installed the Web
* Interface as part of the earlier installation. The preferred
* method for upgrading the Web Interface is to upgrade to
* Access Suite Console 4.0 and Web Interface 4.0 before
* installing MetaFrame Presentation Server 4.0.
*
* If RemoveWITurnkey equals No and Setup detects an
* incompatible version of the Web Interface installed on the
* system, Setup exits with an error message.
*
* If you want to ignore the error message, set RemoveWITurnkey
* to Yes. Please note that at the end of the upgrade, the
* Web Interface is no longer installed on the system.
*
* Supported values:
* Yes Remove Web Interface if it is detected on the
* system.
* No Exit the installation if Setup detects the Web
* Interface on the system (default).
*
* If you want to specify a different install
* location(INSTALLDIR) than the default one, you must
* set InstallLocation="Target Path" For example:
* InstallLocation="C:\Progra
m Files\abc abc\"
*
* If you do not set InstallLocation, the product will
* be installed in the default location,
* Windows location:\Program Files\Citrix.
