Hallo,
I am relatively new to WDS and donīt find the solution for several things:
I created an unattend.xml File with which I can successfully Install Vista Enterprise.
But there are 3 Problems I have:

1. I donīt find a solution to enter a specific ComputerName during Installation. I only get a random Name but I want the User setting up Vista to specify the ComputerName
2. During the PE Phase I cannot chose the Language Package Vista should be installed with.
3. Although I configured Disk and Partition Size in the Unattend.xml it does not seem to be applied.

Has anybody experienced the same problems and can provide me a solution ?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer. I skipped oobe and now get Error Message and Installation fails.
Overall I have to say that RIS was much better than WDS. Bcause of our experiences with WDS and Vista we agreed to remain with Windows XP and RIS until Microsoft has improved their new Products significantly.
