HI Guys, Another tough one, I am running the Windows Longhorn Setup WIM / WDS setup wizard manually, I did this by renaming setup.exe in te root of X:, it works 99.9% but I does not get passed the Authentication screen, it also does not accept the correct credentials when entered. Instead it complains about not being allowed to login to WDS more than once with the same credentials, which is nonsense because if I run the vanilla image that is exactly what it does. I need some advise on how to disable authentication to the WDS server altogether. Now typically when using a vanilla image where the setup wizard starts automatically, I use an unattend file with the credentials in it, so that I can skip language selection and authentication. And get the image list directly. This has worked very well. When starting the setup manually the logs report that the unattend file is being used correctly, I can also see that it is working because the default language displyed in the language selection screen, is the one I have nominated in the unattend.xml. I have monitored the setup log in the panther folder, the setup is detecting all the images which are available correctly, this is listed at the bootom of the log. I check that all the required services have started. I am simply stuck... How to bypass the Authentication prompt? Please help, I will gladly submit my documents to my blog when done. This is a hot solution for multiple wim to multiple partitions... |
