WDS Windows 7 Unattended

Asked by Ball_Group in Windows 7, Operating Systems Development, Deployment Software for Development

Tags: Windows 7, WDS

Hi,

Im trying to install Windows 7 Enterprise through WDS on a client machine.
The setup runs fine, but the machine does not join the domain or creates a local user account.
(The setup asks for all theese questions) its like my XML file does not apply.

This is my Unattended.xml (Applied in the WDS Server properties on the Client tap)

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
   <settings pass="windowsPE">
      <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86">

         </WindowsDeploymentServices>
      <DiskConfiguration>

                <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>
            </DiskConfiguration>
