Gantlett Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Hello,I am trying to set up an unattended deployment system for Windows 7. I installed WDS on Windows Server 2008 64-bit Enterprise Edition SP2.I compiled an answer file and applied it to the Server Properties\Client tab. However, the WDS client completely ignores the answer file.I tried removing the answer file from the Server Properties\Client tab and applying it to the install image, but the client still ignores the answer file.I was able to grab the log file from the client, and it looks like the answer file arrives OK. I have attached the WinPE client's X:\Windows\panther directory below, as well as the XML answer file:panther.zipWDSUnattend.xmlWhat am I doing wrong?Thanks in advance!

Tripredacus Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 In the future, remember to attach your unattend.xml instead of copypasta from IE.What option did you choose to attach the XML file to? I don't think this XML will work if attached to the install image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantlett Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi and thanks for your replyI've edited the original post to include correct attachments.I tried attaching it to the server, and when that failed, I tried attaching it to the image.

Tripredacus Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I compared your XML to my working Vista unattend I used on WDS and found you do not have a WindowsDeploymentServices object.Info here:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722103%28WS.10%29.aspxSee my Vista XML I attached.Unattend.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
