Question
You are a Network Administrator in an enterprise. You have been assigned the task of installing Windows 2000 and some other applications, on each computer on the network. But in the enterprise environment, it is not cost effective to install Windows 2000 and other applications, using the standard interactive setup on each computer. You plan to perform automated installation on multiple computers. Which of the following installation tasks can be automated? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.
Options

Why each option
Windows 2000 unattended deployment can automate the core OS, service packs, language packs, and non-service applications, but applications that run as services require interactive configuration of service account credentials and cannot be fully automated.
Service packs for Windows 2000 Server support automated installation via command-line switches or by slipstreaming the service pack into the installation source, making them compatible with unattended deployment.
Applications that do not run as a service can be scripted for unattended installation using silent installation switches, since they require no interactive service account or credential configuration.
Additional language packs for Windows 2000 Server can be specified in the unattend.txt answer file, allowing Setup to install them automatically without user interaction.
Applications that run as a service require interactive steps to configure service account credentials, logon settings, and startup parameters - these cannot be reliably captured and replicated in an unattended installation script.
The Windows 2000 Server core OS installation is fully automatable using Setup Manager to generate an unattend.txt answer file, which drives a hands-free, interactive-free OS installation across multiple machines.
