No Product Key? No Problem!
SkipProductKey=YES
This special setting should allow you to skip the prompt for a product key during deploy.
Got a MAK Key?
OverrideProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
This is where you can put a MAK key or a generic install key if you so desire, if this causes trouble leave this out and inject the MAK key into the unattended file.

Grand Finale?
FinishAction=REBOOT
Once a final summary is displayed, the system will reboot when you select Finish. Other options are available, but a final reboot is always a good idea. Combine this with the Skip Final Summary command, and your systems will give no final report and simply reboot. I wouldn’t recommend doing that until you’re 100% confident your deployment share is working well and your logs are reporting correctly.
Monitoring
EventService=http://SERVER:9800
This is where MDT will report all information for live reporting in the monitoring section in the Deployment Workbench. Obviously you need to change SERVER in this example to the IP or preferably hostname of your server
Set TimeZone and Skip prompt in lite touch Wizard
SkipTimeZone=YES
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
TimeZoneName=Mountain Standard Time
This is an easy thing to skip, especially if you’re only deploying in one time zone.
Set Local Admins
Administrators001=Domain\Group
Define groups you want set as a local admin. Make sure restore groups is set in your task sequence for this to work.
Enable Dynamic Logging
SLShareDynamicLogging=\\SERVER\SHARE$\Logs\%OSDComputerName%
Deployment logs are stored in this location. Make sure you have the SMTrace log viewer installed to easily view these files.
Setting Application Defaults
Applications001={ABC123ABC123ABC123}
These entries require the GUID of the applications you want to set as default. Installation of these applications will be selected by default but can be unselected at deploy time.
Skipping Application List in Lite Touch Wizard
SkipApplications=YES
If you would prefer to set the applications once and not be prompted period, set this and move on with your life.
Some Apps not up for Debate?
MandatoryApplications001={ABC123ABC123ABC123}
These entries will also need the GUID of the applications you want to mandate. Installation of these applications are not up for debate, and will be done on every PC the share deploys. Handy for Office and/or your security software.

The Userstate Migration Toolkit comes with both the WAIK and the ADK. It allows you to save user information either locally using hardlink migration or to save to server or USB. The settings above allow you to store the data on the local disk for all users who have signed into the domain in the last 90 days. Note: Hardlink Migrations don’t work on XP.
