Lite Touch Installation (LTI) is a deployment method used in Microsoft Windows environments that allows for the installation of operating systems with minimal user intervention. It typically involves using Windows Deployment Services (WDS) or Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) to automate the process while still requiring some manual steps, such as selecting the operating system image to install. LTI is particularly useful for organizations looking to streamline their OS deployment while retaining control over the installation process.

hi Ur answer is: Unattended Setup is the process of using automated installation scripts to answer questions during Setup, thereby simplifying the installation of Windows 2000 Professional on multiple computers. The command for starting Unattended Setup is the same as for interactive setup: For starting Unattended Setup on a computer running Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, or Windows 98, use Winnt32.exe, and select the appropriate command options to run the scripts. Windows 2000 Professional improves the use of automated installation scripts, especially by providing the Setup Manager, a comprehensive, wizard-based feature that guides administrators through the process of creating custom, error-free setup scripts. Unattended Setup is the easiest method for upgrading numerous computers from previous versions of the Windows operating system. It also can be used to automate clean installations. Using scripts saves time and money by eliminating the need for administrators or users to attend to each computer and answer the questions during installation. Unattended Setup provides automated deployment of an upgrade to Windows 2000 Professional on numerous computers. Unattended Setup with installation scripts also gives administrators the flexibility to allow users to provide input during the Setup process. Deployment can take longer using Unattended Setup than using some other methods, such as the Sysprep tool because of the time required to copy files over the network. for more information refer to:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000pro/deploy/depopt/w2kpadpl.mspx#EXE good Lock
