You should use timestamps with some Microsoft installs like Microsoft SQL Server 2008. You can easily create a timestamp with a batch file.

@echo off
set date=%date:.=%
set timx=%time::=%
set time=%timx:,=%
set timestamp=%date%%time%
echo %timestamp%

Now you can use %timestamp% with your unattended SQL Server 2005 installation.
