navrenga Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi,I am trying to install Windows 8.1 and 2012 R2 via WDS 2003 . I am getting windows could not apply unattend answer file's diskconfiguration setting . I did added the Latest boot.wim (6.3.9600) to wds 2003 . I am not able to proceed further deployment due to this error. I am sure that i am using correct unattend file because i am able to deploy windows 8 and Windows 2012 with the same autounattend xml. Only difference is boot.wim which i used for windows 8 is 6.2.9200. 6.2.9200 works fine with wds 2003 but 6.3.9600 doesnt work with WDS 2003.I tried deploying windows 8.1 with windows 8 boot.wim which fails at offline servicing . I doubt if i need to add any drivers to windows 8.1 boot.wim ? . If yes. Please let me know the steps.Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If the deployment uses DISM, you need a Windows 8.1 boot image. The DISM from older OSes can't service drivers or updates at least.What are your DiskConfiguration settings? What are you deploying to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
