Where is the correct location for unattend.xml?

i have been through many documents getting crosseyed! deploy windows 2008 image, correct location put answer file unattend.xml at?
c:\sysprep ?
c:\windows\panther ?
c:\windows\system32\panther ?

btw - not using wds. still using ads product since on special network no active directory

thanks in advance.

i haven't tried pxe booting winpe 2.x ads pxe server, scenarios where i couldn't use wds, have used jounin pxe server (doesn't require active directory).

se below article...
