Is there anything we might be missing?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622650815076456654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396481053359703519.post-82003889260716471922015-02-14T00:06:23.681+01:002015-02-14T00:06:23.681+01:00Did you disable SecureBoot on the thin client?

Therefore I'm checking mails not all the time. Great that you find a way yourself to skip interactive setup by using the unattend.xml file. It's true that deploying WIM images on flash takes a very long time, no fun in deployment there.<br /><br />Did you check my other blogpost on WES8 also, which is http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.nl/2014/06/wes8-deployment-with-configmgr-2012-sp1.html > for it seems Microsoft changed something in WES8 and ADK so deployment of OEM versions is no longer supported. Therefore deployment quits after the "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step".<br /><br />Later this month I will investigate the issue again and hope to find a way to pass this step during deployment. Otherwise you must still do things manually, which can be included in a task sequence normally. At the moment there are multiple companies which are stuck in deployment because of this change. Do you recognize it?<br /><br />Hope to hear from you again and thanks for mentioning.Henk Hoogendoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066841733613965112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396481053359703519.post-86718744764607038282014-06-23T13:24:06.060+02:002014-06-23T13:24:06.060+02:00Nevermind, I finally stumbled across the OOBE sett...Nevermind, I finally stumbled across the OOBE settings after going through the WSIM interactive help content section by section.

I'm right in the middle of doing thi...Hi Henk,<br /><br />I'm right in the middle of doing this at the moment. I'm deploying Win 8.1 Embedded Industry Enterprise to a bunch of Wyse Terminals.<br /><br />Firstly, my thanks to you. This is a great article you've written, and it, and several others on your blog, have already pointed me in the right direction a number of times.<br /><br />I've taken the "build customised master, capture image with USB media, deploy via PXE Multicast" approach. This has gone very well so far, but my last hurdle: the deployed image still runs through the interactive setup after booting.<br /><br />I've used sysprep in the past (distant past, for XP), and I understand what I need to do in terms of creating and packaging an unattend.xml to include in the SCCM task sequence.<br /><br />Where I'm getting lost is the completely bewildering array of options, packages, etc. that you're presented with when you start creating an answer file from scratch in WISM. I've already configured everything in the master image exactly the way I want it, all I really need sysprep for is to ensure the UWF gets enabled properly - I originally tried deploying an un-sysprepped WIM image directly (with a run-once script to change the computer name utilising OSDComputerName in the task sequence), but I then discovered that UWF expects to find the GUID of the disk it's first enabled on, so even if you completely disable it and remove all the protected volume entries with uwfmgr before imaging, it still fails to re-activate properly for deployed images (it says it's active, but writes are still getting committed to flash). There doesn't seem to be a "complete re-initialise" option to speak of for UWF, so sysprep it is then...<br /><br />A great deal of web surfing has yet to reveal a "complete newie's guide to modern Sysprep options" that I can consult to find out what I need to know about unattended installations in Win7/8 - nearly all of the stuff I've found online pertains to full domain-member workstation installs, custom driver installation, etc. which uses a great deal more of the options than I require, I'm just looking for the bare minimum required to boot a ready-to-go sysprepped image without user interaction.<br /><br />So, my question is, do you know of any good resources out there that will help me wrap my head around SysPrep? I try not to rely on spoon-fed answers whenever possible, since I'm going to be supporting this environment for a number of years, so I want to have as much depth of knowledge as I can about how and why things are built the way they are.<br /><br />Also, as you stated in your article, thin-client OSD to flash is not exactly the fastest process, so every time I test this it takes a couple of hours, and I don't really have the time available to experiment with the answer file and get it sorted out by trial and error...<br /><br />Ben Thompsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396481053359703519.post-84336847275766279232014-02-19T11:57:27.613+01:002014-02-19T11:57:27.613+01:00Hayo,
