kennysarmy Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I've been testing win7 with a view to getting ahead of the game so that we can start rolling out machines from september 2011. Policy and software testing is now completed and I have been looking at deployment. I started small and have worked out how to create a custom install image which is on a bootable USB pen drive. With the help of users on here I successfully injected newer drivers for network card and audio for a motherboard of newer type than the one which I used for my base image. Yesterday I installed WDS on one of our member 2003 SP2 servers and that went OK. I copied my install.wim from my USB pen drive up to the WDS server by choosing the "Add Install image" (around 8Gb) I copied my boot.wim from my USB pen drive up to the WDS server by choosing the "Add Boot image" (around 140Mb) When I created my custom image it was with an unattend.xml. Here it is: en-gb Never true School true Work 2 bAA0ADIANAA0ADcAMgA4AEEAZABtAGkAbgBpAHMAdAByAGEAdABvAHIAUABhAHMAcwB3AG8AcgBkAA== false</plaintext></p><p> </p><p> <localaccounts></localaccounts></p><p> <localaccount></localaccount></p><p> <password></password></p><p> <value>bAA0ADIANAA0ADcAMgA4AFAAYQBzAHMAdwBvAHIAZAA=</value></p><p> <plaintext>false</plaintext></p><p> </p><p> <description>initial user</description></p><p> <displayname>admin user</displayname></p><p> <group>Administrators;Users;</group></p><p> <name>adminuser</name></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <registeredowner>school</registeredowner></p><p> <registeredorganization>school</registeredorganization></p><p> <showwindowslive>false</showwindowslive></p><p> <timezone>GMT Standard Time</timezone></p><p> <firstlogoncommands></firstlogoncommands></p><p> <synchronouscommand wcm:action="add"></synchronouscommand></p><p> <order>1</order></p><p> <commandline>cmd /c del c:\windows\panther\unattend.xml</commandline></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <cpi:offlineimage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 Professional" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi"></cpi:offlineimage></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I took a test PC and made it PXE boot F12.</p><p> </p><p> It finds the WDS server and I change the Locale and Keyboard to UK from US.</p><p> It then asks me to login to connect to the WDS server so I enter admin username and password.</p><p> I choose my image (it's the only one listed)</p><p> I choose my partition for install (advanced then format before proceeding)</p><p> It then starts to intall Windows</p><p> Reboots and installs devices.</p><p> Reboots again and starts windows.</p><p> I then have to choose the correct Country, Time & Keyboard layout.</p><p> Reboots again.</p><p> I get CTRL+ALT+DEL</p><p> </p><p> Strangely this PC is now on the network with name "Admin4" and it's in the Generic "Computers OU"</p><p> </p><p> Why?
