Localize Windows 8.1 with unattend.xml
Greetings,
I am using mdt 2013 with sccm 2012 R2 to deploy windows 8.1. I wish to localize it to en-AU.
I have created a package with the unattend.xml file and specified that file in my "apply operating system image" task sequence step. I used windows SIM to add the "international-core" to my answer file and specified InputLocale,
SystemLocale, UILanguage and UserLocale as en-AU.
When I deploy this task sequence it ignores my settings and installs the default en-US.
Exactly how does one localize a Windows 8.1 installation using the unattend file?
Thanks
David Z
I have these settings in my customsettings.ini
UserLocale=en-AU
SystemLocale=en-AU
KeyboardLocale=0c09:00000409
UILanguage=en-AU
GeoID=12
and I have the gather step specifying that file and it still doesnt apply. Im still getting english(US)

</unattend>
When the client starts instead of going in automatic screen appears windows where I am asked to choose which operating system to install.
What is wrong?
Please, DON'T GIVE ME LINKS, BUT THE SOLUTIONS on how to fix it
Thank you in advance.There seems to be some confusion here. What you have posted is a customized unattend.xml file used in WDS deployments, however most MDT deployments won't use these highly customized unattend.xml files, instead using it's own unattend.xml template files.
FOr example when choosing the SKU type, WDS will allow you to select the type from the unattend.xml file <InstallTo> element above.
In MDT, however, the SKU Index is chosen and applied manually through a dism.exe /apply image.
And although your unattend.xml file is interesting, I can't tell what the problem is just by looking at it.
If you are still having problems, best thing is to start looking through panther logs to see where the OS got confused looking for the image source.

I know there are similar other issues with IE 10 and Windows 7. This is WINDOWS 8.1, and the IE Welcome message is totally absent from the default unattend.xml in the c:\windows\panther directory. In fact, I did a sysprep without using any injected
unattend.xml - this is the Microsoft Default!
So I suspect this will start appearing all over again soon. Anyone figure out what was causing it?

I'm thinking of dumping the entire IE section and see what happens.I too received this error as I tried to run my first Windows 8.1 deployment. Per another post I commented out this line
<IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
from the IE section of the unattend.xml. I was then able to run my deployment. I do not see this line in your posting though.
I referenced this link even though it was for Windows 7.

Hope this helps someone.

To clarify, I edited the unattend.xml file from from Deployment Share, not C:\Windows\Panther.

Image deployment Stuck at Applying Unattend.xml with DISM.EXE
Hello All,
I've integrated around 90 Patches into MDT Image of windows Server 2012. so far, only Image and Packages are in Media contents.
When I am deploying Image on a VM- then it is working fine till applying Operating system Image upto (100%)...and gets stuck at Applying Unattend.xml with DISM.exe which is very next step, see screenshot below.
This process is going on for a longer time and after this I am getting below Error and Image is not getting deployed ...
Please advise!!!
Please....In the task sequence folder ([deploymentsharename] -> Control -> [task
id]) do you see an unattend.xml file there? -
ComputerName in Unattend.xml ignored by Windows 10 Technical Preview [all builds]
Since I was not successful in creating an Unattend.xml with
Windows 10 Technical Preview ADK I modified the one from Windows 8.1. This works with exception of
<ComputerName>MYW10PCNAME</ComputerName>
I do get an auto-generated PC name instead.
The process is, that the Unattend.xml is copied into Panther folder after image build incl. sysprep.
Can someone post an Unattend.xml that is working for Windows 10 Technical Preview?
I will try to post this in feedback app.Hi,
It seems like there is a problem with Windows 10 deployment. Firstly, please post this phenomenon to Windows Feedback.
In my opinion, it is probably Windows 10 itself problem, I would make a deep research with this problem, hoping there is some progress.

MDT 2012 - applying unattend.xml with dism.exe is extremely slow
Hello,
The image is completing successfully but it takes forever during the applying unattend.xml with dism.exe stage.
Takes well over ½ or so just for that part. It’s not a fat image just windows.
I redid my task sequence but no change. It used to be fast but now it seems like it hanging during the stage.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanceOne of the things that DISM does is to apply all the device drivers you specify. Please check the selection profile you have used for the Inject Drivers step and while you are at it check also for the Packages. By default it is set to everything,
if you do as I do and select specific device drivers make sure the selection profile is set to what ever you need or set to nothing if you set the MDT variables DeviceDriversxxx specifically.
Thanks for the reply. I have all of my selection profiles selecting only the drivers for each computer.
This all started after I added the latest Lenovo laptop with the Haswell processors.
I will keep looking.
Thanks -
Capture image with .wim and unattend.xml?
Hi,
We captured an image with the default wim of windows 7 + an unattend.xml. Now it seems this unattend.xml was not correctly applied (media center was removed but is still there, some components were installed
but are not etc). Question: when capturing an image, you CAN use a default .wim right? Or should you use “apply operating system from original installation source” to have it applied correctly?
Our problem is that our original task sequence had to many Windows updates and crashed. That’s why we are using offline updates which we include in the capture task sequence.
If we would need to use the "apply operating system from original ..." then we'd need to:
1.capture without updates
2.import this wim into sccm
3.offline update this wim
4.use this for capture WITH updates
Please advise. J.
Jan HoedtHave you tried making a package of your unattended.xml and pointing to it in your Apply Operating system step?
If I remember correctly SCCM will make it's own unattended.xml even if one exists in the wim file, using the package of the unattended.xml that you have already created will make it use that one. Looks something like this in the task sequence with the highlighted
yellow parts filled out by your package of the unattended.xml: -
hello,
we've just received 50 dell venue pro 11, we plan to use them with the default and already installed windows 8 pro (we'll join
our domain, install the sccm 2012 client and from there run a task sequence to install missing required applications and other stuff)
now I'd like to skip every (or most of) screens at the start, where you have to choose your region, timezone, create an account
etc etc (yes we can still tick and accept the licence agreement if required) my idea would be to boot the tablet from winPe, and copy
a modified version of an answer file to c:\windows\panther\ (I'll replace the unattend.xml) and reboot.
this doesn't seem to work, as it look into the system32\oobe\oobe.xml file to launch the wizard where you choose the language...
Is there a way (supported or not) to achieve this? can we specify and force the answer in the oobe.xml
I'll post the setupact.log and oobe.xml tomorrow
(I won't have time to create an image for this, those have to be deployed in like 3 days, so either I find a quick way to achieve this or I'll have to do it manually 50 times...arg)
Thanks!Hi,
If you want to use a quick way to achieve the custom deployment, you can use ImageX Command.
imagex /apply image_file image_number image_name image_path {/check | /ref | /scroll | /verify}
imagex /capture image_path image_file "name" {"description"} {/boot | /check | /compress [type] | /config | /flags "EditionID" | /norpfix | /scroll | /verify}
First,you need to install a template computer, and install all applications.
Then use ImageX Command to capture this system ,and apply this system to 50 dell computer.

OSD: Apply Windows Settings and Unattend.xml
What's the principle with "Apply Windows Settings"?
Whether "Apply Windows Settings" and "Unattend.xml" work together
If I used them at the same time, what will happen?Someone can correct me if I'm wrong:
Apply Windows Settings steps are actually injected into the unattend.xml during the task sequence, so unattend.xml gets processed with the settings you specified in the step. -
I'm having an issue, with Windows 8.1 sysprep WIM, when applying the image and don't know what to do.
I am using the Windows 8.1 WADK/Windows Kits for Windows 8.1. Using the Image Manager for creating my answer file, using deployment/imaging tool for creating and editing my images, and using the same Windows 8.1 DVD media for my catalog as in my WIM. No MDT
involvement.
Using WinPE to clean and partition my disk and to apply the image.
I have done the best research I'm able to do at the moment and for this issue it all comes back to removing/editing the "IEWelcomeMsg" line.
I have left at false and removed the line as all have mentioned, however I'm still getting the error "windows setup: windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (c:windows\panther\unattend.xml). A component or setting specified in the answer
file does not exist".
Is there something I missed? From what I can tell for now, nope.
Any help to enlighten what might have been over looked would be beneficial.Hi JFrederick,
Please try what Tripredacus suggested first.
For the error message, we have a similar thread for reference:
Windows
Could Not parse or process unattend answer file for pass [specialize]
The cause might be different, you may refer to the others who offered suggestions in the above thread.

Device Fails Task Sequence at the Windows Setup Unattend Step, but No Unattend.xml is Specified
This is the first time i have encountered a laptop straight from OEM with two physical SATA disks (Disk 0 = 256gb SSD, disk 1 = 750GB HDD). [this might not be relevant, but as all other machines are working fine with this TS+WIM, i will mention it.]
During the task sequence, after the WIM is applied and the device reboots, the Windows setup fails and displays a general Unattend error (stating the specialized pass has failed) There is no unattend.xml specified in the apply operating system image step,
so the only unattend.xml is the one generated by the task sequence.
When looking at the C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend\Unattend.xml everything seems OK to me.

OSD: unattend.xml in capture conflicts with unattend in deploy?
Hi,
We need to remove some Windows components in our capture, so we created a small unattend.xml for it.
Now we deploy this capture and apply an xml which contains totally other settings but it fails.
Please advise what best practises is: only 1 unattend.xml in deploy? Then components are installed which we don't want (like Media Center), if we use the unattend.xml in capture only, we lose flexibility: each change we need to capture the image again.
J.
Jan HoedtIf you want to remove Windows features, you could just use DISM:
In WinPE phase, after Apply Operating System Image Step
Add run command line step
Commandline: cmd.exe /c dism.exe /image:%OSDTargetDrive%\ /disable-feature /featurename:MediaCenter /scratchdir:%OSDTargetDrive%\Windows\Temp /norestart
Just make sure that you use %OSDTargetDrive% -variable in your Partition Disk 0 and Apply Operating System Image -steps. -

I am not quiet understanding your question, could you clarify your question, as far as I know, an answer file is an XML-based file that contains setting definitions and values
to use during Windows Setup. In an answer file, you specify various setup options, including how to partition disks, the location of the Windows image to install, and the product key to apply. You can also specify values that apply to the Windows installation,
such as names of user accounts, display settings, and Internet Explorer favorites. The answer file for Setup is typically called Unattend.xml.

Unattend.xml parsing/merging issue with SCVMM 2012 R2
Hi all
I have a problem with a new install of SCVMM 2012 R2. I have created templates for 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. I have an issue with the unattend.xml losing some of its configuration when the 2012 and 2012 R2 templates are built, this issue however doesn't
occur on a 2008 R2 template build.
I have generated unattend.xml files for all 3 OS's using System Image Manager in the latest AIK using the original install.wim from each OS media.
In the unattend.xml file I have specified language settings, and a few other bits but the issue I have is when I configure autologon with local admin and password. I specify a logon count of 1, I also specify a GUIRunOnce command in SCVMM and not the answerfile.
The problem is the resulting merged unattend.xml has a logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce command. I have tried different variations where I specify GUIRunOnce in the xml and not SCVMM, applying the autologon to the Template or Guest OS profile and
all end with the resulting xml with logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce. If I remove the autologon part then GUIRunOnce gets parsed and works correctly.
As mentioned this only happens with Server 2012 and 2012 R2, 2008 R2 works correctly.
Any ideas?Hi Kevin
I am struggling with the same thing during bare metal installs of Hyper-V hosts. In my case I have managed to narrow it down to the language settings in the oobe pass. If I include them, parsing of the unattend file halts (without an explicit error anywhere)
and the host fails to join the domain. Could you try to leave out the language settings in oobe pass and see if it then completes as expected? Would be interesting to see if it actually is the same issue with a slightly different flavour :)
EDIT: Got a bit further now with the new release of WS2012 R2. All the testing I've done has been with the 05182 build. Stumbled across KB2913316 which stated that a new build (31419) was released december 11th. Allthough the KB does not directly apply to our
issue I thought I'd give it a go, so I went about building a new vhdx-image. Low and behold - the first test went smoothly applying all the settings in the unattend file! I'm going to continue testing to make sure the successful run wasn't just a fluke.
