tomgrindle Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Since my last post http://www.edugeek.net/forums/o-s-deployment/143321-windows-8-1-sim.html .. I managed to get the catalog to create and make an unattend.xml file for Windows 8.1. I am now struggling with applying this unattend.xml, it does not want to go. This is the message that I get during the deployment process. I have tried all manner of things to get it working, but without this component in the unattend it will not name the machine properly, nor join it to the domain automatically. Would someone be so kind to have a look through the Specialize 'pass' for me and see if there is anything obvious that I am doing wrong? I have taken the value out for the Administrator password for obvious reasons. EnableAdmin 1 cmd /c net user Administrator /active:yes UnfilterAdministratorToken 2 cmd /c reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v FilterAdministratorToken /t
