Unattended configuration using startnet.cmd
In an unattended configuration, a batch file is launched automatically at the end of the Windows® PE
boot process to perform the configuration tasks. There are several ways to start a batch file for custom
routines, but the simplest is by using startnet.cmd.

routines, but the simplest is by using startnet.cmd.
Startnet.cmd, located in the WinPE_Directory\Platform\system32 directory, is a command batch file that
Windows® PE automatically loads at the end of the boot process. The content of startnet.cmd varies
depending on usage. In the following example, startnet.cmd is used to map drives to a network file server
and execute files located on a remote server.
