Windows 8.1 and 2012 R2 WDS deployment


Recommended Posts

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

Thanks. Figured out the issue

1) I need to use lsisas

2) Network driver should be e1000e or vmxnet3 .It should not be e1000

I am able to successfully deploy windows 8.1 using wds 2003 .

Thanks
