I want to automate the first part of the winpe on restoring and capturing a image with wds-winpe etc.

I have created a unattend.xml (that is: copieed from the internet) and opened in systemimage manager from WAIK. I cannot open a wim file in the system image manager, then there are errors cannot create catalog file. But i have read on the internet that it is not nessecary to open a image file within the unattend.xml.

Now i put the unattend.xml in the \remoteinstall\wdsclientunattend.

But nothing is automated when i boot a client. Everything like keyboard and name, password must be entered. So i think the unattend.xml doesn't work. The most imported thing i want to do with unattend is that the winxp machine which te image must apply, is that the disk (2 partitions)is formatted and that 1 partition is created.

What am i doiing wrong that the unattend.xml is doeiing nothing?

Kleine toevoeging:

De unattend.xml doet wel iets want als ik de unattend uit de ..remoteinstall\wdsclientsunattend verwijder kan ik helemaal geen image meer terugzetten! Boot ik de client dan en kies voor terugzetten dan verschijnt er even later kan de WDS server niet bereiken.

Dit kan toch niet aan de unattend.xml liggen, die heb je toch alleen maar als toevoeging?
