zeezam Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have a full working unattend file that is activated to run wds in unattended mode.Now I want several images to choose during the installation and this solution doesn't work then because I have pointed out the imagename in the unattend file etc.I tried to cut and paste the windowsPE part to a new file and added the unattend file to the image in WDS but I got prompted with disk and language settings during the installation...Any ideas? In wich order do the components run during the windows 7 installation?Here is my unattend file that I use from the beginning;<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>041d:0000041d</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>sv-SE</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UILanguageFallback>en-US</UILanguageFallback> <UserLocale>sv-SE</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86"> <WindowsDeploymentServices> <Login> <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI> <Credentials> <Username>Administrator</Username> <Domain>domain.local</Domain> <Password>password</Password> </Credentials> </Login> <ImageSelection> <InstallImage> <ImageName>win7</ImageName> <ImageGroup>win7</ImageGroup> <Filename>win7std.wim</Filename> </InstallImage> <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </ImageSelection> </WindowsDeploymentServices> <DiskConfiguration> <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI> <Disk> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition> <Order>1</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Extend>true</Extend> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition> <Active>true</Active> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>SYSTEM</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> <Order>1</Order> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> </Disk> </DiskConfiguration> </component> </settings> <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> <UnsecureJoin>True</UnsecureJoin> <JoinDomain>domain.local</JoinDomain> <Credentials> <Domain>domain.local</Domain> <Password>password</Password> <Username>Administrator</Username> </Credentials> <MachineObjectOU>Computers</MachineObjectOU> </Identification> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86"> <BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled>false</BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled> <DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>true</DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet> <RegisteredOrganization>International Data Group</RegisteredOrganization> <RegisteredOwner>IT</RegisteredOwner> <ShowWindowsLive>false</ShowWindowsLive> <DoNotCleanTaskBar>true</DoNotCleanTaskBar> <TimeZone>W.

You maybe have just one iso?I want to have one unattend file for the WDS boot image and one separate for each image I have on the server.Which settings should I have for the image of these?<settings pass="windowsPE"><settings pass="offlineServicing"><settings pass="generalize"><settings pass="specialize"><settings pass="auditSystem"><settings pass="auditUser"><settings pass="oobeSystem"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
