Hi, I actually did get this to work eventually without removing any of the images from the install.wim file. There are a few places where the windows version has to match what is in the install.wim file. Here is a copy of my autounattend.xml for a Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter deployment. It deployed with zero user intervention. The xml also adds an additional admin user, enables automatic updates, enables ICMP and RDP through the firewall runs some custom commands suitable for our environment. Try it and let me know how it goes. Cheers Thanks Nadly, we're going to give it a lookover and see what's what.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but..... Following NadlyJ's steps helped us get to a point where now the only selection is the Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Which IS the OS we want, and it's the only one listed, but then WHY do we still get prompted for it? If it's the only choice, why doesn't it automatically choose it. If someone knows the step we're missing for the install to skip the OS selection screen because it sees only the 1 choice, it would be greatly appreciated.
