</unattend>

The image deploys without any issues. The only issue I'm having is that after the image is done deploying and the machine reboots for the first time, the Windows 7 Set Up prompts us to select the following:

Country or region

Time and currency

Keyboard layout

Along with being prompted to "Help protect your computer and improve Windows automatically" and select one of the following for Windows Updates:

Use recommended settings

Install important updates only

Ask me later

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob

You are missing this in oobeSystem:

	<component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
            <UserLocale>0409:00000409</UserLocale>
            <UILanguageFallback>en-US</UILanguageFallback>
        </component>

And this too which goes in the oobeSystem pass too, but under the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup component.

<OOBE>
<ProtectYourPC>2</ProtectYourPC>
</OOBE>

You are using an Autounattend.xml AIO (x86/amd64) ?

Remove first the last line:

<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim://servername/win7x64/win7entsp2x64idev1.0.wim#Windows 7 Enterprise Edition SP1 x64 SSI IDEV Image v1.0" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />

Remove, because those values are deprecated for Windows 7!

<SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>
 <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>

And add the values given by Tripedacus.
