This is only in case machine joins domain, unattended join or unsafe join, then it will name machine accordingly.








This Unattend.xml file is for the Windows Unattended installation, not for the post installation process, so WinPE pass mainly and not OOBE pass.

Unattended post-installation, what user would be requested to fill after windows have been installed (locale input, currency, time zone, network zone...)


group image is W7-Ent-64b; image name is Windows 7 ENTERPRISE, and file name is install.wim


with sim (system image manager) we can save the created xml file anywhere, once it is selected in here a copy will be saved under the install.wim image file folder, under the Install\Unattend folder and renamed: ImageUnattend.xml
E:\RemoteInstall\Images\W7-Ent-64b\install\Unattend




--------------- -----------


no idea which process is accessing it right now … Anyway Windows was installed and only thing to type in the new machine was the local1 user password to log on...
------------------ ---------------------


I took install.wim and boot.wim from windows 7 enterprise dvd, and for SIM I also took them from dvd and not files I copied in the machine hard drive...

input keyboard is spanish and language is us. Other unattended settings can be added in the specialize pass and other passes...
wipe disk is turn on true so if any partition already exists it will be deleted. The Romance standard time is gmt+01:00; (UTC+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris. And the Domain account settings we have added in the second part is useless since we did not joined the machine to a domain...
