Unattended Setup of Windows Server 2019 Evaluation

Hi there,

i am struggling with getting an unattended Windows installation to pass the Windows Server Edition selection screen.

According to the Metadata section of the Unattended Windows Setup Reference, I am supposed to discover the image index by running the DISM tool. Which works as expected:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\install.wim

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.1

Details for image : C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\install.wim

Index : 1
Name : Windows Server 2019 Standard Evaluation
Description : (Recommended) This option omits most of the Windows graphical environment. Manage with a command prompt and PowerShell, or remotely with Windows Admin Center or other tools.
Size : 8,230,200,012 bytes

Index : 2
Name : Windows Server 2019 Standard Evaluation (Desktop Experience)
Description : This option installs the full Windows graphical environment, consuming extra drive space. It can be useful if you want to use the Windows desktop or have an app that requires it.

Index : 3
Name : Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Evaluation
Description : (Recommended) This option omits most of the Windows graphical environment. Manage with a command prompt and PowerShell, or remotely with Windows Admin Center or other tools.

The operation completed successfully.

I configured my Askfile through the SIM tool, with the OSImage section like this:

<settings pass="windowsPE"><component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="wow64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><ImageInstall><OSImage><InstallFrom><MetaData wcm:action="add"><Key>/IMAGE/INDEX</Key><Value>1</Value></MetaData></InstallFrom></OSImage></ImageInstall></component></settings>

This does not work, the installation still prompts for the selection of a Windows Server Image. I have also tried using /IMAGE/NAME and /IMAGE/DESCRIPTION, but neither work.

Has anybody made similar experiences?

I am using the Windows Server 2019 Evaluation Image (1809).

Thank you in advance.
