GoldenWonder Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I'm trying to use our WDS (Server 2003) to deploy W7 images. I've got a sysprep'd W7 image and also the default image (from the DVD) I can boot the client PC and install either of these. However, when I create unattend files (for the WDS and Image part) and assign them using the WDS console, the client ignores them. The PXE boot goes as normal, then stops at the language selection dialogue - and I specify this in the WDS unattend.xml. Anyone know why its ignoring the unattend files? I've only used the WDS console to attach them and used System Image Manager to create them.
DMcCoy Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 If you choose en-GB for the PE language then it will stop as it is not available. It works with en-US. Shift+F10 will get you into the command prompt. You can then run notepad and find the error log. The downside to this is any printers that have drivers are detected when still as en-US and get installed as Letter
GoldenWonder Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 Do you mean the SetupUILanguage setting? I have got this setup to en-GB, but it was originally en-US. Either way prompted the locale dialogue box on boot.
DMcCoy Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Do you mean the SetupUILanguage setting? I have got this setup to en-GB, but it was originally en-US. Either way prompted the locale dialogue box on boot. Yes, en-GB is not a valid option with the default language packs included in a windows 7 based PE. It will work fine as an unattended file for the image itself, but not for automating the WDS stage.
DMcCoy Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 This is for a Vista image, but we use Win 7 from the WDS stage so it should be the same. Automatically wipes the disk, so be careful if you don't want that OnError 1 Primary true true NTFS SYSTEM C 1 1 0 true domain.school password user Student.WIM Student Student 0 1 Never en-US Never en-US 1
GoldenWonder Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 Cheers - I'll give that a try. It looks very similar to ours except for the language settings.
GoldenWonder Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 Modified my unattend file to change the locale settings and it worked! Thanks for that - would never have guessed that one!
Gatt Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 This is my unattend.xml (for the server not the images thereafter!)

GoldenWonder Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 Thats odd, as that is what my original file looked like. Until I changed the locale to en-us it failed to work?
DMcCoy Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Done some more testing, this should be sufficient to make sure printers etc get installed as A4. The unattended file after install is ok with the en-GB settings, it's just WDSClient that doesn't support en-GB for display. My relevant lines now look like en-US Never en-US en-GB en-GB
Reaper Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Rather than start a new thread I'll just add to this one. I'm facing a similar problem to the OP, a month ago my WDS deployment worked without any problems, including multicasting but last week when I uploaded an updated image WDS began ignoring the answer file. The WinPE section works fine but as soon as it gets to the image OOBE part of the process I'm presented with language options and request for a username. If I fill these in, WDS then names the computer (something i've told it not to do) based on the domain admin account we use and joins it to the domain. If I don't roll the image out with WDS and instead use command line WinPE then this problem is avoided. I mounted the image with imagex and checked the unattend file under C:\Windows\Panther and it was the correct one, if I check it after the image has been applied it is one that WDS has chucked out with the computer name etc that I haven't told it to use. I spent some time before the weekend fiddling with the answer files to try and get automatic image selection and I'm not sure if it's related as I can't remember if I did a successful WDS test last week or not. I know it work perfectly at the end of May. The WinPE answer file has the language set to en-US and the image answer file is set to en-GB. I'm now two days behind my deployment schedule for the summer and this is driving me nuts, so any help is very much appreciated!

If I fill these in, WDS then names the computer (something i\u0027ve told it not to do) based on the domain admin account we use and joins it to the domain. \u00a0 \nIf I don\u0027t roll the image out with WDS and instead use command line WinPE then this problem is avoided. \u00a0 \nI mounted the image with imagex and checked the unattend file under C:\\Windows\\Panther and it was the correct one, if I check it after the image has been applied it is one that WDS has chucked out with the computer name etc that I haven\u0027t told it to use. \u00a0 \nI spent some time before the weekend fiddling with the answer files to try and get automatic image selection and I\u0027m not sure if it\u0027s related as I can\u0027t remember if I did a successful WDS test last week or not. I know it work perfectly at the end of May. \u00a0 \nThe WinPE answer file has the language set to en-US and the image answer file is set to en-GB. \u00a0 \nI\u0027m now two days behind my deployment schedule for the summer and this is driving me nuts, so any help is very much appreciated!
