Actually I think what happens is that any unknown value resorts to the default value (0) in the MSDosInitiated entry. "1" indicates you are using install disks, which nobody touches these days.

I noticed that DP base will always modify the WINNT.SIF so that the flag for MSDosInitiated will be set to "NO" (without quotes). This is technically not the correct value because setup is looking for a numeric value for this particular entry (0 or 1). Reference: the ref.chm in the XP SP2 deployment kit from MS.

Not that this is terribly important since we all seem to get by
