Hi,

I "built" a WDS server in a Windows 2003 Server computer to deploy Vista Images.

I can now use a WDSClientAutounattended.xml file to define partitions, and a few more litle things.


My problem is that other issues like <OEMInformation> and <OOBE> seems to be ignored. I dont't understand what can be wrong with the file.

Here´s the code:

Try making these FALSE

 
<SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>
<SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>
 

[edm19]

Make the changes, but didn't work...

[joshiieeii]

Are you using the Windows System Image Manager from the BDD 2007 suite?

I have mine set to False and the autologon works fine.

[edm19]

No, just editing XML file in a common XLM editor. The part related to the partitions work fine.

Can you send me your xml file to compare? Are you using components like OEM logo, etc?

[joshiieeii]

Do yourself a HUGE favor and download and install BDD 2007 from HERE.

It is FREE and will save you the headaches you are experiencing in this thread.
