Ulaiphur Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm using an unattended sheet in order to install windows 8. I'm fairly new in unattended procedures ans was wondering if I could integrate in my sheet a way to launch a batch in order to create partitions.Here is my unattended sheet:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserData> <ProductKey> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Key></Key> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName></FullName> <Organization></Organization> </UserData> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <ComputerName></ComputerName> <RegisteredOwner></RegisteredOwner> <RegisteredOrganization></RegisteredOrganization> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> </OOBE> <TimeZone>GTB Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> </settings> </unattend> Is it possible to do it this way?

Tripredacus Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Windows Setup can do it. No need for diskpart. Not sure if Setup uses Diskpart or what. Here is an example of an MBR setup:If you are doing an EFI deployment, I can find that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJinje Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Or in case the built in disk configuration is not granular enough for your needs, can easily launch a batch during the windowsPE pass by using a RunSynchronous command. Greater details can be found inside your unattend.chm from the W8 ADK.Microsoft-Windows-Setup | RunSynchronous<RunSynchronous> <!-- First synchronous command to execute --> <RunSynchronousCommand> <Order>1</Order> <Path>\\MyNetworkShare\MyApplication.bat</Path> <Description>DescriptionOfMyApplication</Description> <Credentials> <Domain>FabrikamDomain</Domain> <UserName>MyUserName</UserName> <Password>MyPassword</Password> </Credentials> </RunSynchronousCommand><!-- Second synchronous command to execute --> <RunSynchronousCommand> <Order>2</Order> <Path>C:\AnotherApplication.cmd</Path> <Description>DescriptionOfMyApplication</Description> </RunSynchronousCommand></RunSynchronous> Edited September 11, 2012 by MrJinje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
