    If you can copy and paste lines 25-35, I'm sure someone here will catch what is wrong. Did you make any manual modifications to the file?

    FYI - Just in case you weren't aware, you can open it in notepad.
    (You probably knew that already...)

    By my count it is failing on the DomainAdminPassword, butI think what I would try is the line just up from it, the DomainAdmin. Try changing that line to read:

    DomainAdmin=MLF\Administrator
    or
    DomainAdmin=MLF.com\Administrator

    See if that helps.

    Hi Sprkymrk,
    I tried
    DomainAdmin=MLF\Administrator
    or
    DomainAdmin=MLF.com\Administrator

    But is failed until i changed the admin pw: to 14 characters. It did work.
    BUT i'm having another question: During setup i'm prompted to partition. That is the only prompt i get. I got no clue why.

    thx.

    Thanks you for the link. I did follow it and it did work. I had to add the "Repartition=Yes" in my [unattended] section
