theforce Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Hi, I'm hoping someone can help here. I have a couple of issues with automating WDS using unattended.xml. Firstly, My server is Windows 2008 R2 64bit, I am trying to automate the WinPE phase of WDS. I have associated the the following unattended.xml file to the x86 boot images. However the language is not selected and the username and password is not entered (I have to perform both these tasks manually). The only thing the xml seems to do is choose the partition for where the installation will occour. Here is the xml for the winPe phase OnError wdsadmin myschool wdspassword OnError Windows 7 Professional SP1 x86 Images Windows7proSP1.wim 0 1 OnError 1 Primary true true false NTFS OS C 1 1 0 true OnError en-UK en-UK Does anyone know what the issue might be? Secondly, with regards to syspreping a windows 7 machine, I have created an unattended.xml file (from a thread on this website, which I can't find now), using mysysprep and sysprep.cmd, I sysprep the machine and reboot, upon reboot the syprep process asks me to enter a machine name. Once the machine name is supplied, the computer is then added to the domain using the name I supplied, and everything is fine. However, If I run sysprep and then restart the computer, boot into winpe and take an image of the machine. I then load the image on another machine using wds, the process happens exactly the same, i.e. it asks me for a name for the computer. However, regardless of what name I supply (name that is less then 16 characters), the computer is joined to the domain using the username I supplied during the WinPE process of WDS. i.e. at the WinPE stage if I use the account WDSAdmin, my computers will be joined to the domain as WDSAdmin1, WDSAdmin2 etc.. whereas if i use the account administrator it names the machine administrator1 administrator2 etc.. This happens regardless of wheather I try to associate an unattended.xml to the winpe process or not. Here is my xml for the Windows 7 image. en-GB en-GB en-US en-GB en-GB true Work 1 dwBlAGwAYwBvAG0AZQBQAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQA false</plaintext></p><p> </p><p> <description>Local User</description></p><p>

I have a couple of issues with automating WDS using unattended.xml. \u00a0 \nFirstly, My server is Windows 2008 R2 64bit, I am trying to automate the WinPE phase of WDS. I have associated the the following unattended.xml file to the x86 boot images. However the language is not selected and the username and password is not entered (I have to perform both these tasks manually). The only thing the xml seems to do is choose the partition for where the installation will occour. Here is the xml for the winPe phase \u00a0 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n OnError \n \n wdsadmin \n myschool \n wdspassword \n \n \n \n OnError \n \n Windows 7 Professional SP1 \n x86 Images \n Windows7proSP1.wim \n \n \n 0 \n 1 \n \n \n \n \n OnError \n \n \n \n 1 \n Primary \n true \n \n \n \n \n true \n false \n NTFS \n OS \n C \n 1 \n 1 \n \n \n 0 \n true \n \n \n \n \n \n OnError \n en-UK \n \n en-UK \n \n \n \u00a0 \nDoes anyone know what the issue might be? \u00a0 \nSecondly, with regards to syspreping a windows 7 machine, I have created an unattended.xml file (from a thread on this website, which I can\u0027t find now), using mysysprep and sysprep.cmd, I sysprep the machine and reboot, upon reboot the syprep process asks me to enter a machine name. Once the machine name is supplied, the computer is then added to the domain using the name I supplied, and everything is fine. \u00a0 \nHowever, If I run sysprep and then restart the computer, boot into winpe and take an image of the machine. I then load the image on another machine using wds, the process happens exactly the same, i.e. it asks me for a name for the computer. However, regardless of what name I supply (name that is less then 16 characters), the computer is joined to the domain using the username I supplied during the WinPE process of WDS. i.e. at the WinPE stage if I use the account WDSAdmin, my computers will be joined to the domain as WDSAdmin1, WDSAdmin2 etc.. whereas if i use the account administrator it names the machine administrator1 administrator2 etc.. \u00a0 \nThis happens regardless of wheather I try to associate an unattended.xml to the winpe process or not.
