Topic: UnattendMode=FullUnattend & unsigned drivers

I am migrating from using a regular preinstallation, to an nLite installation with hotfixes and the driverpacks.net files.

While reviewing Microsoft's WINNT.SIF documentation, I found under "Unattended.UnattendedMode=FullUnattended" :
     FullUnattended
     Specifies a fully unattended GUI-mode Setup. If you do not specify a required Setup answer in the answer file,
     Setup generates an error.
     During an attended Setup, improperly signed hardware drivers generate a warning dialog box. If
     UnattendMode = FullUnattended, then Setup does not install hardware drivers unless they are properly signed.
     Use UnattendMode = FullUnattended in deployment scenarios where you require a complete unattended
     installation.

I do have "Unattended.DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore" and "NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore".


My question is, can I use FullUnattended mode if I want unsigned drivers to be able to be installed, or do I need to be using DefaultHide?  (I don't see in Microsoft's documentation whether DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore overrides the Setup not using unsigned drivers in FullUnattend mode.)
