Just to add, when I use my original 1607 unattend it makes me do the secret questions and answers etc. When I use the one you sent (I am very grateful for that), I get the error I posted before about not being able to install.

Yes I've done that. Built an 1802 reference computer. Sysprepped and then created the image etc. All the same process I have done in the past for Windows 7 and Windows 10 1607. Then added image to WDS and via the images properties tab, linked to the unattend.xml but get the error above.

No I added it via the properties tab in the WDS

Hi, yes I did, but after it images and starts booting up the first time and installing devices etc, gives and error "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." I believe it is set to uefi as the interface is different.

Does anyone know the specific components within the unattend.xml I need to use to stop language selection, 3 secret questions and answers etc when imaging computers via WDS? I have tried a variety of the options but still cannot stop it from making me run through these after first boot. The components set before our now deprecated with 1803. What makes it even worse is the GUI of this first boot process is broken do only a white screen with a small window top right. So its guess work when you have to tab and hit return. This is causing much frustration.

Hi, thanks for your reply, yes we updated the KMS key and all works except the .xml, mainly after install it boots fine and then asks for Language etc. and the pesky 3 secret questions and answers.

Just to add the above settings do work with my 1607 image but not with the 1803 image.

Thanks for you reply Dan, when I add these to my answer file and validate it fails as saying the MachineOOBE and the SkipUserOOBE settings are deprecated?

I'm having issues deploying Windows 10 1803 via WDS. Especially the frustrations creating this image in the early days of this. Apps putting themselves back to random apps being installed to a random single user causing sysprep issues I finally created a working image. The image deployment itself runs fine, its the unattend.xml that isn't! Mainly after first boot up its asking for keyboard settings, Cortana, the pesky 3 secret questions and so on. I understand this issue has been reported by a number of people and I've been Googling like mad but to no avail. I wondered if any of your guys had a solution for this, what do I need to add to the unattended.xml as I have 100 computers to deploy over the holidays. I don't relish having to apply these to each individual computer. I do have the latest ADK for 1803. Thanks in advance.

We are having a sporadic issue with Office 2016. We have a small IT Suite created for developing Windows 10 for site deployment later this year. In addition it has Office 2016 installed as well as our default AV Sophos. The room works perfectly but at random times of the day with random users we have issues with Office 2016 after the user saves the document and logs off. Basically the file "disappears" and is replaced by a numbered.tmp file. In some cases launching Office and open with "all files" selected or renaming the extension fixes this issue but in others the work is lost. There is no consistent behaviour or pattern so we cannot pinpoint exactly what is causes this! However, after a variety of online searches we keep seeing this same problem reported and the antivirus being the potential culprit? Saying they have resolved this by excluding the folder, but for obvious reason we don't want to exclude the home directories. Does anyone here have any thoughts or ideas. Thank you advance.

We have some network computers that are Windows 7 running Office 2007. My question is, is there an easy way to enable the Excel Data Analysis Toolpak add-in for all users remotely either by GPO or script or any other way. I'm not great with script to be honest. Thanks in advance

I'm trying to do Sysprep for Windows 10 Education but am unable to access Audit Mode after initial install using CTRL SHIFT + F3 as suggested by this site Sysprep Windows 10 Machine: Step by Step Guide – TheITBros. I have tried different keyboards but still having this issue. Anyone know away around this or any better solutions. Cheers in advance. David

Are thats great, thank you :-)

Thank you so much coding isn't my strong point so knew what i wanted it to do, but just not how to do it. Thank you again. David

We currently are running Windows 7 (32BIT) on the entire network and are now testing as small amount of Windows 10 (64BIT). We currently run the below script to install the Go4Schools link on the desktop at login. This works fine for our Windows 7 (32BIT) but on Windows 10 as the program is 32BIT its installed into a Program Files (x86) by default and the location cannot be changed. Obviously for the time being we still need to use the below script but need additional script "if""else" that if the below isn't on the local computer to create the alternative path on the links. set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") strDesktop=WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") set oShellLink=WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\Go4Schools.lnk") oShellLink.TargetPath="C:\Program Files\Hyperspheric Solutions Ltd\GO Login Tool v2\Go.Login.exe" oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1 oShellLink.IconLocation = "\\server_name\apps\Group Policies\go.ico, 0" oShellLink.Description = "Go4Schools" oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Program Files\Hyperspheric Solutions Ltd\GO Login Tool v2" oShellLink.Save Any pointers would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
