Wpeinit and Startnet - CMD Using WinPE Startup Scripts

Use Wpeinit and Startnet.cmd to run startup scripts when Windows PE (WinPE) first runs. Wpeinit installs Plug and Play devices, processes Unattend.xml settings, and loads network resources. Startnet.cmd starts Wpeinit.exe which outputs log messages to C:\Windows\system32\wpeinit.log. The Wpeinit command line option -unattend can be used to specify a path to an answer file for supported Unattend settings like firewall, networking, and page file configuration.
