Deployment Solution

Hi All,

 

I am using DS 6.9 SP6 with Win PE 4.0. I am trying to perform an unattended installation of Windows 7.

I have created an unattend.xml and i have called it using the sysprep settings. But the issue is this when Windows deployment task runs it asks for user input for Language, Name, Product Key, Network etc. Where as i have already provided this information in answer file.

In your Distribute Disk Image job, do you have "Automatically perform configuration task after completing this imaging task" checked?

If so, uncheck it. Leaving it checked will cause the agent to try configure the computer after the computer has already run Sysprep.

 

Have you tried going into your distribute disk image, disk image source, sysprep settings, advanced and telling it to use a different answer file then default...

Both of the suggestions given are regarding the wrong type of job... Distribute Image is not the same as Scripted OS Installation. And the information is just wrong anyways. A properly constructed Unattend.xml file will let you reimage without needing to touch the computer after the image completes, just like it should allow you to run a scripted installation without needing to touch the computer. You DO want that option checked, unless you actually want to manually fix your own Unattend file for computer names and so on. Getting on to what you're actually asking about, though, what you're probably looking for is the AcceptEULA (true), WillShowUI (Never), HideEULAPage (true), SkipUserOOBE (true), and SkipMachineOOBE (true) settings. If you have those properly set in your XML file, your scripted installation will happily move along.
