I have been working on setting up a WDS server for awhile now I've got just about everything working the way it needs to except the unattend answer file that applies to the image I'm deploying. I have followed many walkthroughs but nothing has worked so far. I can get the WDS client windows answer file to apply just fine so I don't have to do anything until the image is installed.
I finally found that I can apply the unattend.xml file during the sysprep process and it works beautifully through that way. That would lead me to believe the answer file is set up correctly.
I add the exact same answer file to my image through the wds by right clicking on my image I want to deploy, select properties, clicking the check box to allow image to install in unattended mode and then I select the appropriate file. When I try to deploy that image it doesn't apply it at all, and I get no errors.
It doesn't seem that there are very many steps to apply the answer file so not very many things should be able to go wrong.
The WDS server is server 2012 and I'm trying to deploy a win7 image both 64 bit.
