[/Type:ServerDomain|UserDomain|UserOU|Custom]

• ServerDomain creates client computer accounts in the computer container for the directory service domain that contains the Windows Deployment Services server.
  
  
• UserDomain creates client computers in the computer container for the directory service domain of the user that is performing the client installation.
  
  
• UserOU creates client computers in the same directory service location as the user that is performing the client computer installation.
  
  
• Custom specifies the location in the directory service where client computer accounts will be created. If you use this option, you must also specify a value for /OU.
  
  

[/OU:<Domain name of OU>]

If you specify Custom for the /Type option, this option specifies the organizational unit where computer accounts should be created.

[/Enabled:{Yes | No}]

Enables or disables logging of Windows Deployment Services client actions.

[/LoggingLevel: {None | Errors | Warnings | Info}

Sets the logging level.

• None is equivalent to disabling logging.
  
  
• Errors is the lowest level of logging and indicates that only errors will be logged.
  
  
• Warnings includes both warnings and errors.
  
  
• Info is the highest level of logging and includes errors, warnings, and informational events.
  
  

[/Policy:{Enabled | Disabled}]

Specifies whether or not unattended installation is used.

[/CommandlinePrecedence:{Yes | No}]

Specifies whether an autounattend.xml file (if present on the client) or an unattended setup file that was passed directly to the Windows Deployment Services client with the /Unattend switch will be used instead of an image unattend file during a client installation. The default setting is No.

[/File:<Relative path>]

Specifies the file name and path of the unattend file.

[/Architecture:{x86 | ia64 | x64}]

Specifies the architecture of the unattend file. You must use this option with /File.

[/Policy:{AdminApproval | Disabled}]

Specifies the Auto-Add mode.

• AdminApprove causes all unknown devices to be added to a pending queue, where the administrator can then review the list of devices and approve or reject each request, as appropriate.
  
  
• Disabled indicates that no additional action is taken when an unknown device attempts to boots to the server.
  
  

[/PollInterval:{Time in seconds}]

Specifies the interval (in seconds) at which the network boot program should poll the Windows Deployment Services server.

[/MaxRetry:<Retries>]

Specifies the number of times the network boot program should poll the Windows Deployment Services server. This value, along with /PollInterval, dictates how long the network boot program will wait for an administrator to approve or reject the device before timing out. For example, a MaxRetry value of 10 and a PollInterval value of 60 would indicate that the client should poll the server 10 times, waiting 60 seconds between tries. Therefore, the client would time out after 10 minutes (10 x 60 seconds = 10 minutes).

[/Message:<Message>]

Specifies the message that is displayed to the client on the network boot program dialog page.

[/RetentionPeriod]

Specifies the number of days a device can remain in the Pending Devices table before being automatically purged.

[/Approved:<Time in days>]

Specifies the retention period for approved devices. You must use this parameter with the /RetentionPeriod option.

[/Others:<Time in days>]

Specifies the retention period for unapproved devices (rejected or pending). You must use this parameter with the /RetentionPeriod option.

/Architecture:{x86 | ia64 | x64}

Specifies the architecture.

[/BootProgram:<Relative path>]

Specifies the boot program sent to the approved device. If no boot program is specified, the default server for the approved device architecture will be used.

[/WdsClientUnattend:<Relative path>]

Sets the relative path to the unattend file that the approved client should receive.

[/ReferralServer:<Server name>]

Specifies the Windows Deployment Services server that the client will use to download images.

[/BootImage:<Relative path>]

Specifies the boot image that the approved client will receive.

[/User:<Domain\User | User@Domain>]

Sets permissions on the computer account object to give the specified user the necessary rights to join the device to the domain.

[/JoinRights:{JoinOnly | Full}]

Specifies the type of rights to be assigned to the user.

• JoinOnly requires the administrator to reset the computer account before the user can join the computer to the domain.
  
  
• Full gives full access to the user, including the right to join the computer to the domain.
  
  

[/JoinDomain:{Yes | No}]

Specifies whether or not the device should be joined to the domain as this computer account during a Windows Deployment Services installation. The default setting is Yes.

[/Policy:{Include | Exclude}]

Sets the interface bind policy to include or exclude the addresses on the interface list.

[/Add]

Adds an interface to the list.

[/Remove]

Removes an interface from the list.

/Address:<IP or MAC address>

Specifies the IP or MAC address of the interface. You must use this option with /Add or /Remove.

/AddressType:{IP | MAC}

Indicates the type of address specified in the /Address option. You must use this option with /Add or /Remove .

[/Add] /Guid:<GUID>

Adds the specified GUID to the list of banned GUIDs. Any client with this GUID will be identified by its MAC address instead.

[/Remove] /Guid:<GUID>

Removes the specified GUID from the list of banned GUIDs.

[/Enabled:{Yes | No}]

Specifies the BCD refreshing policy. When /Enabled is set to Yes, BCD files are refreshed at the specified time interval.

[/RefreshPeriod:<Time in minutes>]

Specifies the time interval at which BCD files are refreshed.

[/ObtainIpv4From:{Dhcp | Range}]

Specifies the source of IPv4 addresses.

[/Start:<Starting Ipv4 address>]

Specifies the start of the IP address range. This option is required and valid only if /ObtainIpv4From is set to Range.

[/End:<Ending Ipv4 address>]

Specifies the end of the IP address range. This option is required and valid only if /ObtainIpv4From is set to Range.

[/StartPort:<Starting port>]

Specifies the start of the port range.

[/EndPort:<Ending port>]

Specifies the end of the port range.

[/Profile: {10Mbps | 100Mbps | 1Gbps | Custom}]

Specifies the network profile to be used.
