Hi,

I have been struggling for days to create a deployment environment for Server 2008 using Windows Deployment Services. I can install do unattended installs with success but i am still not getting additional software to be installed. Below is my Unattend.xml:

I am trying to install .Net Framework 3.5, but no luck.

Any help please ?

Best Regards,
Carlos Fernandes
