yeah, this is a really interesting feature (or should i call it BUG?) you have to use the dialog, like you wan't to save local... so fill in a name for the file, and then additionally select the store on server stuff... then it works... also needed some time to figure this out... but now it works like intended...

one little problem i struggled with was, that you have to use the "short" domain name instead of the full domain name in the answer file e.g: yourdomain instead of yourdomain.local i managed to do an unattended domain join with this answer file... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <servicing> <package action="configure"> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package" version="6.0.6000.16386" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="" /> <selection name="TelnetClient" state="true" /> </package> </servicing> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" 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"> <Identification> <Credentials> <Domain>yourdomain</Domain> <Username>domainuser</Username> <Password>domainpass</Password> </Credentials> <JoinDomain>yourdomain</JoinDomain> <DebugJoin>false</DebugJoin> <UnsecureJoin>true</UnsecureJoin> </Identification> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-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"> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> </OOBE> <UserAccounts> <AdministratorPassword> <Value>xxxxxxxx</Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </AdministratorPassword> </UserAccounts> <BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled>true</BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled> <ShowWindowsLive>false</ShowWindowsLive> <AutoLogon> <Password> <Value>xxxxxxx</Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </Password> <Domain></Domain> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>1</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>powercfg -change -standby-timeout-ac 0</CommandLine> <Description>don't go to standby after 1 hour</Description> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> <RegisteredOrganization>yourorg</RegisteredOrganization> </component> </settings> <settings pass="offlineServicing"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" 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:keyValue="c1574a1" wcm:action="add"> <Path>\\server\reminst\distribution\Out-of-Box Drivers</Path> <Credentials> <Domain>yourdomain</Domain> <Password>yourpass</Password> <Username>user</Username> </Credentials> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim://server/microsoft/windows%20vista/wims/install.wim#Windows Vista ENTERPRISE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend>
