It will.

If you look in the OPK, you'll find instructions for building a network-bootable RAM disk image of Windows PE. But you will need to build it using a slipstreamed copy of Windows 2003 SP1 -- earlier Windows versions don't support mounting the ISO as a RAM disk.

Once you're in Windows PE, you can set the machine up to do the unattended installation.
