I need to deploy a Sql Server Express 2008 database in unattended installation using command line or AutoIt, and I need to :
1.- Set sa password.
2.- Disable built-in\Administrators account to deny login.
3.- Attach a database with all users accounts enabled.
Thx
You could use a configuration file like the example below, then just use a script to attach the databases and the other stuff.

## ---- END FILE ---- ##
For SA password, see How to: Install SQL Server 2008 from the Command Prompt: /SAPWD Specifies the password for the SQL Server sa account.
You can chose integrated or mixed authentication mode for the install (see /SECURITYMODE in the link above).
To specify the default members of the sysadmin group, use /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS. Unless explictly specified, built-in\administrators will not be added as login.
To attach a database, run a post-install script that attaches the database, using CREATE DATABASE database_name FOR ATTACH. To enable users in the newly attached database, explicitly create the users needed with CREATE USER.
