I use ICE to create an unattend.xml with disk layout settings. When I run it I am always presented with the GUI disk configuration dialog (even if WillShowUI = Never). Below is my working AUTOUNATTEND.XML for 'Windows 7 Starter' which i installed from a USB drive onto my 250GB Netbook. It wipes the disk then creates a Primary. Create an Answer File for Language settings during OSD with ConfigMgr. You need to create an Answer File (unattend.xml). (extract the contents of a Windows 8.1. (If you open a Windows 7 32bit image, neither the amd64 or wow64 sections show up.) Hopefully someone can answer to what the wow64 section is used for when trying to create an unattend.xml for Windows 7 64-bit.
Doesn't it seem boring to do the most weary task day after day, machine by machine, taking up an hour or more from your time just to make one device ready to be used?
Formatting PCs 'or installing Windows' was (and still) one of the most frustrating tasks that any helpdesk engineer or PC maintenance shop need to do. What I came up with this course is a cool, easy and professional way to make your Windows installation experience as never been before.
This course is a mix of many features, tools, and ideas that are combined together to master custom Windows image that works on all desktops & notebooks you have.
We will create a virtual Windows machine (Windows 7, 8.1, or 10) using either Hyper-V or VirtualBox, whatever is convenient for you. Then, we will modify the image, add files to it, install applications, updates, and whatever modifications we want. Respectively we will capture that Windows machine using ImageX to extract a WIM file with all these modifications.
Next, we will see how we can use this extracted WIM file to create a bootable Windows image, moving to use an XML file that we can create to automate installing Windows almost without any user interaction.
Feel like this is too advanced technical course? Don't do! We will explain every single step. No rocket science in this course, guaranteed! You will see how to do each step in a very easy and straight forward way.
Why you are still reading here? Save your time that has been squandered doing boring tasks, hit the button 'Take this course' and let's begin!
hey all,
i'm trying to create a simple unattend.xml file for a windows 7 image that will join a domain without user input. I'm using the lastest and greatest of WAIK to edit my XML file and i understand that the 'magic' happens in the 'specialize' pass of the file. However this does not seem to work and i have filtered thru every forum and website associated with this particular problem and no one seems to have an answer. Some i've read have had success using a multitude of scripts and batch files to accomplish this, however that proved to be very convoluted and very specific to the environment those scripts were created for - ie. they didn't work for me either.
Windows 10 Unattend Xml Generator
i tried to copy and paste my currenty xml file in here, but it wouldn't allow me so i'll have to give a general overview of how mine is setup.
Sample Unattend Xml Windows 10
everything works in my xml file except for joining the domain. the mini-setup completes without user interaction, which is great, however, when the system comes up, only my local admin account (the one i created, not the default admin account) is showing and i still have to manually join the system to the domain (as well as activate the licensing, smh)
