Does someone have skills in installing WSUS in complete unattend mode?

I have read the relevant portions of the Technet documentation, but (as example) is I pass

WSUSSetup.exe /f /v " CONTENT_DIR="F:\WSUS" CONTENT_LOCAL="0" WMSDE_DIR="F:\WSUS" "

to the setup file it just terminates saying "unknown installation option".

Above written switches came directly from Technet in conjunction with WSUSSetup.exe /? to get /f to force a backend installation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and will be very useful for folks who need to deploy several WSUS editions in a huge environment.
