  1. I have a Problem with configurating the PXE boot without the F12 button. Here's my configuration: - PXE Policy: only respond to known clients - Client prestageg in ADS with GUID - DHCP, ADS, WDS and DHCP on same server - Option 60 and 66 enabled - Unattend file for WDSClientUnattend enabled, Unattend Setup enabled - Image associated unattend file for unattend oobe - reserved IP for client within DHCP When I use the original PXE file (pxeboot.com) everythings working well. After pressing F12, PXE boots into WinPE, applies the Image and reboots the system. Since I do not press F12 during that reboot, the installation is finished. But when I rename the pxeboot.n12 to pxeboot.com PXE is running into loops: PXE is booting WinPE, applies the image and after the reboot it all starts again. I think there should be a flag on the server, so the PXE knows that it schould not load WinPE. How do I have to configure the WDS server to reach tht goal?
  2. Where did you associate the unattend file in WDS? For the first Setup phase you have to do that for all clients within the server properties -> Client or by client using "wdsutil /set-device /device:<clientname> /WdsClientUnatend:<relative_unattend_path_from_REDIST\WDSClientUnattend> You also have to change the <ImageInstall> section into the WindowsDeploymentServices one found in my attached xml. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" 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"> <DiskConfiguration> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Size>30000</Size> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Extend>true</Extend> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>true</Active> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>System</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>false</Active> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>Data</Label> <Letter>D</Letter> <Order>2</Order> <PartitionID>2</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> </Disk> </DiskConfiguration> <WindowsDeploymentServices> <ImageSelection> <InstallImage> <Filename>install.wim</Filename> <ImageGroup>Vista_RTM</ImageGroup> <ImageName>Windows Vista Enterprise</ImageName> </InstallImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </ImageSelection> <Login> <Credentials> <Domain>wds</Domain> <Password>Test1234</Password> <Username>wds.installer</Username> </Credentials> </Login> </WindowsDeploymentServices> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" 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"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="catalog:d:/install_windows vista enterprise.clg" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend> PS: Unless you have the VL version, it would be better not to publish actication keys.
  3. If you have the languagepack file (cab file) and you want to install a language pack silent, you can use the following tools: 1. Install the languagepack silent using lpksetup.exe: lpksetup.exe /i <language> /r /s /p <lp_path> Where <language> has to be the language ID (e.g. de-DE for german) and <lp_path> specifies the path to the cab file. This takes about 15 minutes! I used a loop within my batch file to monitor when the lpsetup.exe has finished. 2. Apply your language settings using control.exe intl.cpl with unattend file: control intl.cpl,,/f:"<unattend.xml_path" The unattend.xml has to contain special tags from the GS:GlobalizationServices. Here's the one I used. It sets the default language, user language, location and keyboardlayout to german. <gs:GlobalizationServices xmlns:gs="urn:longhornGlobalizationUnattend"> <!-- User List--> <gs:UserList> <gs:User UserID="Current" CopySettingsToSystemAcct="true" CopySettingsToDefaultUserAcct="true" /> </gs:UserList> <!-- GeoID --> <gs:LocationPreferences> <gs:GeoID Value="94"/> </gs:LocationPreferences> <!-- MUI--> <gs:MUILanguagePreferences> <gs:MUILanguage Value="de-DE" /> <gs:MUIFallback Value="en-US" /> </gs:MUILanguagePreferences> <!-- system locale --> <gs:SystemLocale Name="de-DE"/> <!-- input preferences --> <gs:InputPreferences> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0407:00000407"/> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="remove" ID="0409:00000409"/> </gs:InputPreferences> <gs:UserLocale> <gs:Locale Name="de-DE" SetAsCurrent="true" ResetAllSettings="true" /> </gs:UserLocale> </gs:GlobalizationServices>
