Unattended Windows deployment using WDS

Hi

I wonder if someone can help. I'm installing UEFI windows using WDS and an answer file.

Once the client connects to the WDS share, downloads the image etc. and reboots I'm getting the "no bootable device" error. I discovered (quite by accident) that if I then reboot and enter the boot menu, selecting Windows boot manager under UEFI will then continue with setup and eventually lead to OOBE.

If I deploy the same image without an answer file and let it set up it's own partitions etc I don't get this behavior on the reboot. My answer file has will wipe disk in the PE section , followed by creating and then modifying 4 partitions etc. As manually invoking the UEFI boot manager works, it's clearly doing this part fine.

I am presuming that somewhere I need to tell the machine to invoke boot manager on restart but I can't see where or how. Anyone able to help?
