problem with wds over pxe

[chipo]

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?

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

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....
