Hi, I have been struggling for days to create a deployment environment for Server 2008 using Windows Deployment Services. I can install do unattended installs with success but i am still not getting additional software to be installed. Below is my Unattend.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" ...> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" ...> <UserData> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName>Amit</FullName> <Organization>Heaven</Organization> </UserData> <Display> <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth> <HorizontalResolution>1024</HorizontalResolution> <RefreshRate>85</RefreshRate> <VerticalResolution>768</VerticalResolution> </Display> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows Longhorn SERVERWEB</Value> </MetaData> <Path>Images\Server 2008 Web\install.wim</Path> </InstallFrom> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> <DiskConfiguration> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Extend>true</Extend> <Order>1</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>true</Active> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>HD1</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> </Disk> </DiskConfiguration> <WindowsDeploymentServices> <Login> <Credentials> <Domain>-------</Domain> <Password>----------</Password> <Username>-----------</Username> </Credentials> </Login> <ImageSelection> <InstallImage> <Filename>install.wim</Filename> <ImageGroup>Servers</ImageGroup> <ImageName>Windows Longhorn SERVERWEB</ImageName> </InstallImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </ImageSelection> </WindowsDeploymentServices> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX" processorArchitecture="x86" ...> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="x86" ...> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /audit</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> </settings> <settings pass="auditUser"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="x86" ...> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>\\WDSServer\reminst\sw\dotnetfx35.exe /passive /norestart</Path> <Description>.NET Framework 3.5</Description> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" ...> <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>5</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <Display> <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth> <DPI>96</DPI> <HorizontalResolution>1024</HorizontalResolution> <RefreshRate>85</RefreshRate> <VerticalResolution>768</VerticalResolution> </Display> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <TimeZone>India Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> </settings> <settings pass="auditSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" ...> <UserAccounts> <AdministratorPassword> <Value>----------</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </AdministratorPassword> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value>-------</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </Password> <Description>Sample User</Description> <DisplayName>Sample User</DisplayName> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Name>Carlos</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> <AutoLogon> <Password> <Value>-------</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </Password> <Username>Administrator</Username> <LogonCount>5</LogonCount> <Enabled>true</Enabled> </AutoLogon> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim://install.wim#Windows Longhorn SERVERWEB" ... /> </unattend> I am trying to install .Net Framework 3.5, but no luck.
