  <body>
    <p>If you chose Unattended Installation, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> you must supply certain configuration options to be used in the installation.</p>
    <p>See also <xref href="unattended-guest-install-example.dita#unattended-guest-install-example"/> for details of how to configure unattended installation from the command line.</p>
    <ol id="ol_ox5_xtw_4bc">
      <li>Enter the <uicontrol>User Name</uicontrol> and <uicontrol>Password</uicontrol> for a default user on the guest OS. On Windows, this will be an administrator. On Linux, the <cmdname>root</cmdname> user will also be created with the same password.</li>
      <li>
        <p>For Windows guests, enter the <uicontrol>Product Key</uicontrol> supplied with Windows.</p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p>Enter the <uicontrol>Host Name</uicontrol> for the VM. By default, this is the same as the VM name.</p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p>Enter the <uicontrol>Domain Name</uicontrol> for the VM.</p>
      </li>
      <li>Select <uicontrol>Install in Background</uicontrol> if you want to create the VM without a GUI.</li>
      <li>Unattended Guest Additions installation is available for some guests. Select <uicontrol>Install Guest Additions</uicontrol> if you would like <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> to install the Guest Additions after the OS. Specify the ISO to use, usually the default file that is part of the VirtualBox installation on the host machine.</li>
