RIS Answer File

I am unclear on the name of the file created for a RIS install. Does the name of the .sif file matter when doing a RIS install. I am using Exam Cram 2 and the MS Press Coursebook and neither one of them is specific about the name of the file. I am concerned since the CD and Sysprep need specific names (I think) winnt.sif and unattended.txt respectively.
Thanks

I believe it is unattend, but can't remember for sure. MS site will probably have the answer to a quick search. I do know that the .sif is ONLY for a CD install.All things are possible, only believe. -

RIS creates a default unattended installation file with the name of Ristndrd.sif. This is just the default name. With RIS, you can associate multiple RIS unattended installation files with different images.“For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.” - Harry F. Banks -

Ok, did both suggestions and found it. Ristndrd.sif is the default name when the file is created on the RIS server. I was using setupmgr from the xp support tools and getting a default filename of remboot.sif.
Problem solved - thanks!

See how much I know!
I suppose if I had specified "winnt.sif" I would have looked like I knew what I was talking about.
