Static IP using Autounattend.xml

[srihariram]

Hi,

I am trying to set Static IP using Autounattend.xml. Below it the XML snippet.

But it IP is not getting set.

I have a query. We are trying to set IP is specialization pass but the drivers for the ethernet device are provided during auditsystem pass. So during specialization pass no driver is present for the ethernet device but we are still trying to assign static IP. Is this failing as device is not detected?

Any solution to this problem?

change the <identfication> tag value to your network adapter name like "Local Area Connection"
