hi guys, i'm with a major problem..

a installed windows vista business, on a machine and i made sysprep, then boot from windows PE and made imagexX.

then i deployed in WDS, and i used a unattended.xml file that was posted in the forum, but it doesn't make the partitions, what i am doing wrong?

cumpz

read the documentation on that comes with the WAIK to see the exact set of parameters to make/delete partitions.

<DiskConfiguration>

<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>

<Letter>C</Letter>

<Order>1</Order>

<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>

</ModifyPartition>

</ModifyPartitions>

<DiskID>0</DiskID>

<WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk>

</Disk>

<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>

</DiskConfiguration>

i guess this is ok?isn't it?

i already tried the xml file in a windows vista boot cd, and it worked, with no problems...

but if i pass for wds install.wim and boot.wim, it doesn't aply the xml file when i install by pxe

you need to make on the WDS server the unattended file to use for the build. it can be found in the properties of the server

problem solved, thanks guys for your reply

I am working on the same sort of thing. I have a RIS / WDS server running in mixed mode. I just installed the deployment workbench and am in the process of adding some images.

Still experimenting....
