    WDS and Vista integration with drivers

    in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

    Posted

    I have just tried the image again and I think this part is not functioning as intended:

    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">- <DriverPaths>- <PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="1">- <Credentials> <Domain>training.lan</Domain> <Password></Password> <Username>administrator</Username> </Credentials> <Path>\\Trainingsvr\reminst\drivers\NIC</Path> </PathAndCredentials>

    But i tried everything. Would it just be wisdom to dump the .INF in the install.wim instead of trying to add them lateron? I am dealing with the same hardware on all the computers.

    WDS and Vista integration with drivers

    in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

    Posted

    Hello everyone :)

    I have recently set up a Windows 2008 server with DHCP, DNS and Windows Deployment Service. I grabbed my Windows Vista DVD and imported the Vista Business as an Image to my WDS so far so good... When I tried booting the RIS it worked fine and it wanted to install the Network drivers which it didn't find. After some googleing I was able to fix the unable to find a suitable network driver error but now i am still stuck with the following issues: My Installation goes through the boot automatically (it creates a partition and selects the correct image etc) but when it is in the Vista installation it completly ignores my second XML file. I think this has to do with the fact no drivers are installed and Vista is unable to make a new network connection to the server to fetch the XML file.

    How do I add drivers to my image so that they are included during the installation? my XML file looks like this right now I tried adding drivers that it should include for the install but sadly it does not seem to solve the issue that I am having.. I attached the XML file to my boot Image in the WDS (allow unattended install and i selected my XML file) so far I have not been able to figure out why it is not installing my drivers :

    The XML file looks like this : 

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
