WDS 2012 R2 - Second answer file not being picked up APIPA address...

Hi All,

Greeting from Manchester, England.

I have a problem with my WDS Windows 7 deployment, when I boot and choose the image it works great, the first answer file is picked up and works perfectly.

However after the Windows install has completes and the second answer file should be picked up for the OOBE etc it does not happen. I have navigated into a CMD prompt using SHIFT + F10 and when I do a IFCONFIG I get a APIPA address of 169.254.171.194, this means that the unattend.xml cannot be access as it resides on the WDS server and therefore leaves a manual aspect to the deployment.

Any pointers or help would be great.

Thanks :-)
