gangsterhenk Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I have successfully installed Windows Vista on a machine with Windows Deployment Serviceswith an xml answerfile....i dont understand the additional drivers, how to add them /specify them.I added a driverpath in the answerfile like this example:<PathAndCredentials wcm:keyValue="1"> <Path>\\myshare\driverpath</Path> <Credentials> <Domain>UserDomain</Domain> <Username>UserName</Username> <Password>UserPassword</Password> </Credentials> </PathAndCredentials>I filled in the credentials, and tested if the share works....still duringinstallation i get an error that it cannot connect to the share and locate the drivers...shouldnt it be \\SERVER\SHARE\driverpath instead of \\MYSHARE\driverpath ???because it needs to know the server right or does it default use the WDS/RIS server ?Im confused...

cca Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?></unattend>This is the image unattend, what did you use for the WDSClientUnattend.xml?Or perhaps I am misinterpreting the wds/workbench/SIM documentation and the image setup unattend config will over ride the WDS unattend?

fizban2 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 your file looks fine, do you have all the files you need in the one folder you listed there? or are they all in seperate folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) You deployed this with WDS? Was your image on network or local?Edit: Whoops! sorry for the dumb question, I looked at the .xml wrong. Edited October 1, 2006 by Spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
