Hey Guys,
I am trying to deploy Win 7 x64 through WDS with unattended answer files. My WDS Unattend file works fine but my OOBE Unattend answer file is ignored and it prompts for user interface for OOBE settings at Windows startup. I have already associated the OOBE unattended answer file with the install image through "Allow image to install in unattended mode"
Here is my OOBE unattended answer file.
