Hello everyone!
So, I have Windows Server 2012 R2 installed with WDS role, and I have another server with AD role. I'm trying to make unattended setup of windows 8.1 and make the unattended file with Windows ADK. I made two unattended files - one for installation and one for post configuration So I faced with one more issues:
- In fist file (which I placed in WDS properties -> Client tab -> enable unattended setup) I created disk partitions and define image selection and credentials to log in to wds. But when I start installation I see a window that offer me to choose what
image I want to install. Here my xml file bellow. Whats wrong?
