We look at installing Citrix XenServer 6.0x via PXE using answerfiles to automate the process. The answer files are XML based and fairly simple to get a grip on. To protect the root password we use type="hash" that allows for encrypted password to be used in the answer file. For PXE we use a Linux server and have a configuration file that matched the interface and MAC address of the host we want to install. the host boots and the install starts automatically and proceeds to completion.
