Why each option
Unattended installs automate the OS or software installation process across multiple machines simultaneously, eliminating the need for technician interaction at each workstation.
A defective optical drive scenario would be solved by using a USB drive or network boot (PXE), not an unattended install specifically.
Scheduling an install for a specific time while on vacation is a scheduled task scenario, not the defining use case of an unattended install.
Installing without a user's knowledge is an administrative or stealth deployment concern and is not the primary purpose or definition of an unattended install.
An unattended install uses answer files or imaging tools to deploy an operating system or application to many network-connected workstations at once without requiring a technician to manually respond to prompts on each individual machine, making it ideal for large-scale deployments.
