i used Intel CT Desktop NIC, but this NIC only support PXE by default, you need to flash its rom to support EFI + PXE using bootutil. you can find more info in intel's website

i don't think so. i have set up a RHEL 6.1 server and config UEFI PXE boot, now my client machine could boot from a NIC which support UEFI PXE. My question is how to load windows set up menu like legacy BIOS to load BCD.

hi there, as i know in legacy BIOS, pxelinux.0 would load bootmgr.exe and BCD, and then bootmgr.exe read BCD so that we can select different OS to install. But how to do similar work in UEFI mode? i tried bootx64.efi, but it seems would not auto load bootmgr.efi and BCD as legacy BIOS, anybody could help? thanks in advance!

thanks for reply. i also reviewed the web link in your last reply, and created my own disk configuration file, as following, however, i still met “windows cannot be installed to this disk, the selected disk is of the GPT partition style”. <DiskConfiguration> <Disk> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition> <Order>1</Order> <Size>400</Size> <Type>EFI</Type> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition> <Order>2</Order> <Size>128</Size> <Type>MSR</Type> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition> <Order>3</Order> <Size>50000</Size> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition> <Order>4</Order> <Size>50000</Size> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition> <Order>5</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Extend>true</Extend> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition> <Extend>false</Extend> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> <Label>System</Label> <Format>FAT32</Format> <Letter>S</Letter> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition> <Extend>false</Extend> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Letter>C</Letter> <Label>SYSTEM</Label> <Order>2</Order> <PartitionID>3</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition> <Extend>false</Extend> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>TACCBOOT</Label> <Letter>D</Letter> <Order>3</Order> <PartitionID>4</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>TACC_2HD</Label> <Letter>E</Letter> <Order>4</Order> <PartitionID>5</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> </Disk> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </DiskConfiguration>

Hi All, i want to auto clean GPT hard disk after UEFI installation using Autounattend.xml, but system report error "could not format GPT disk", my system is windows 7 sp1 x64? any idea would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi All, after i installed vista sp2 x64 using Autounattend.xml, i found there was not network connection. But the same autounattend.xml. window 7 could get network connection, did vista need special setting for autounattend.xml?

i found a tool named setaclx86.exe in this forum which can do this. Update register would be ok only after system finish installation, but setaclx86.exe could get it done during system installation.

any feedback? i met similar question, the commands in setupcomplete.cmd did not run. even a simple command mkdir c:\11

attached log files for setupcomplete.cmd, but i did not see any execution log in them. setuperr.rar

unattendant, I am pretty much out of ideas. Are you testing on a virtual system? All the information I have ever seen show $OEM$ in all capitals. You show it sometime in caps and sometime in lower case. I would think it would make no difference, but I am surprised often. I should note that after I install W7 (Ultimate x64), my setupcommand.cmd is still present in the Windows\setup\scripts folder. Is your setup\scripts folder there? If not, then I would think it is not getting copied. Enjoy, John. did your commands in setupcomplete.cmd auto run after system boot up? my commands seemed did not run. i just put some test commands such as mkdir c:\11

it's ok using Autounattend.xml in my side, i put it under sources folder Well I am not sure about sources folder, I keep my Autounattend.xml @ root of the DVD and it works fine for me. install OS from Network or local DVD using Autounattend.xml may be different, i have tried to put the file at the root folder, but it didn;t work

the issue why new added files couldn't be found was fixed, when i unmount the install.wim, i used wrong index. But setupcomplete.cmd still did not run, after system boot up, i manually run it, it's ok. The following were my commands in setupcomplete.cmd mkdir c:\1_test_1 c: cd c:\ call c:\autoexec.bat

may i know how you make your setupcomplete.cmd work in install.wim? i put a setupcomplete.cmd in intall,wim, but did not see after system finish installation.

it's ok using Autounattend.xml in my side, i put it under sources folder

i agreed with your idea, but first thing is that setupcomplete.cmd should be in target system. i did not see it after system finish installation. To be more clear, my steps were: 1. unmount install.wim and put setupcomplete.cmd in it and them commit 2. install Windows using Autounattend.xml from PXE, which means launch the whole installation from PXE and auto install system using Autounattend.xml

Hi There, Do any guys know how to set "show hidden files, show files extension" in Autounattend.xml? According to other topics in this forum, third party tool like setaclx86.exe could make this done, but i want to know whether Autounattend.xml could do. Thanks

yeah, i have read the web page, but i still couldn't know what should i do to fix the issue. Besides, if i put some file in install.wim, after system finished installation, should these new added files would be in new system? if not, how should i get it work?

hi there, I still met errors when inserting several updates, attached log file. i am using win7 x86 enterprise, 7Customizer_0.5.0a one suggest, is possible that you can print all your commands such as how to use imagex, dism in some kind of log file, i guest your application is only a wrapper, and the application is using kernel tools like imagex, dism and so on. however, i have to say, it's a nice wrapper.

thanks. i just put some test command in setupcomplete.cmd, such as mkdir c:\11. my first question is i have added setupcomplete.cmd in install.wim, but after installation, i couldn't find the file in target OS.

Hi Folks, I want to auto run some commands after system finish auto installation by WAIK, so i added some command in Windows\Setup\Scripts\setupcomplete.cmd in install.wim, but after system finish installation, the setupcomplete.cmd couldn't be found. And i checked install.wim, the file was there. Have you met this issue before? second, i also tried firstlogoncommand, and it didn't work either, any tips for it? Thanks!
