In the videos below, I show the basics about configuring answer files for your Windows 2008 R2 deployments. The purpose of these files is to automate your installations so that you don’t have to manually answer the prompts appearing during an install.
The answer file can be configured to respond to every question or just the ones you choose, and once it’s configured you can incorporate it into your Windows Deployment Services (WDS) infrastructure so that your new computers can have fully automated installs.

These videos are only intended to provide you with the basics of using WDS and answer file technology. For further reading and study on these topics, check out the following link:
