unattended

I am trying to create a unattended DVD installation of Windows 8, but I can't seem to find a solution do this.

What I'm looking for are to have the same settings on the Network and Sharing Center, to have the Turn on network discovery "on" for both the private and guest/public within the Control Panel.

For private and guest/public, I need to:

Turn on network discovery
Turn on printer and file sharing
Turn off public folder sharing
Turn on password protected sharing
Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers

I've been searching for days and have not found a solution yet.
