Episode 49 — Slipstreamed and Unattended Installs — Automation with Drivers and Scripts
This episode explains how to create slipstreamed installations by integrating service packs, patches, and drivers directly into OS installation media. We also cover unattended installations, where scripted answers are provided to automate the process, reducing manual input and speeding deployment. These methods are especially valuable in large-scale or standardized environments where consistency is critical.
We highlight real-world and exam-relevant use cases, such as deploying dozens of identical servers or installing an OS on hardware with non-standard drivers. Troubleshooting scenarios include resolving installation failures caused by incorrectly formatted scripts or incompatible slipstreamed updates. Mastery of these automated installation techniques helps candidates improve efficiency and consistency in both the test environment and professional practice.
