Abstract: We study solutions to the Brauer embedding problem with restricted ramification. Suppose

G

and

A

are a abelian groups,

E

is a central extension of

G

by

A

, and

f : e x t G a l (o v e r l i n e m a t h b f Q / m a t h b f Q) i g h t a r r o w G

a continuous homomorphism. We determine conditions on the discriminant of

f

that are equivalent to the existence of an unramified lift

w i d e t i l d e f : e x t G a l (o v e r l i n e m a t h b f Q / m a t h b f Q) i g h t a r r o w E

of

f

. As a consequence of this result, we use conditions on the discriminant of

K

for

K / m a t h b f Q

abelian to classify and count unramified nonabelian extensions

L / K

normal over

m a t h b f Q

where the (nontrivial) commutator subgroup of

e x t G a l (L / m a t h b f Q)

is contained in its center. This generalizes a result due to Lemmermeyer, which states that a quadratic field

m a t h b f Q (s q r t d)

has an unramified extension normal over

m a t h b f Q

with Galois group

H_{8}

the quaternion group if and only if the discriminant factors

d = d_{1} d_{2} d_{3}

as a product of three coprime discriminants, at most one of which is negative, satisfying the following condition on Legendre symbols: [ left(frac{d_i d_j}{p_k} ight)=1 ] for

i, j, k = 1, 2, 3

and

p_{i}

any prime dividing

d_{i}

.
