I know the latest version of ads (1.1) supports x64 -

91F9-9CA0DED26734&displaylang=en 

'ADS v1.1 point release includes a rollup of bug fixes and adds support for
x64 platforms and Windows PE.'

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896334/ suggests that you can use automated
methods 

'The Windows x64 Editions operating systems may also be deployed by using an
unattended installation, System Preparation Tool (Sysprep), and Remote
Installation Services (RIS) methods. For more information about how to use
these tools, visit the following Microsoft Web site:'

Nothing there about local cd install only :?

I heard a while back that MS only supports a local CD install of X64 and
that PXE, etc are no yet supported. Does anyone have more current info on
this?

Hi,

For those of you doing automated builds, and are deploying Windows 2003 x64,
what mechanism are you using to deploy the OS? What I mean is, now that you
can no longer use DOS to kickoff the unattended build process, are you using
something like WinPE, BartPE, etc?

Cheers.
