March 25, 201016 yr Is there anyone using more than one image in your WDS?How did you solve the unattended file?I must have one for the WDS and one for the image. It's impossible to make it full unattended with multiple images?...Or Can I let WDS choose image based on hardware? I want to separate desktops and laptops. Edited March 25, 201016 yr by zeezam
March 25, 201016 yr I've heard you can do it in R2. I tried this in 2008 but it did not work properly. Here was my thread for Vista:I tried to do it with one boot.wim, but it would work a lot better with multiple boot.wim and install.wim maybe. I got off that project because I found a better way to do Vista and Windows 7 that does not use unattends.

March 26, 201016 yr Limitations like this are the reason tools like MDT and SCCM exist - this just isn't possible. Thankfully MDT is free, so you should consider it.

Thankfully MDT is free, so you should consider it.Ok.I got stuck when try uploading the image to MDT;"A connection to the deployment share\\Server\Distribution$ could not be made. The Deployment will not proceed" If I not remember wrong I got same error if I import a custom install.wim to the MDT.
March 26, 201016 yr Assuming you still have the boot.wim in WDS, try booting to it and then pressing shift+F10 when the problem occurs to get a cmd prompt. Then try to ping the server, or net use \\server\DistributionShare$. I've seen MDT installs where the share doesn't get created, or has fairly restrictive permissions (it should have at least read perms for everyone).
