Follow these steps to create an ImageUnattend.xml setup script for a Windows Server 2008 SP2 or R2 installation. After the setup script is generated, it is saved to the device driver repository.
Note - In this procedure, the ImageUnattend.xml setup script is mapped to a Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) install image. Then the install image installs the specified device drivers during the Windows Server 2008 network installation.
copy DVDDrive:\source\*.clg C:\Unattend\Drivers\{WSK8|W28R2}\ Catalogs
Ensure that you select the catalog file that matches the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) edition you are installing.
For example, for Windows Server 2008 SP2 Datacenter, select:
C:\Unattend\Drivers\{W2K8|W2K8R2}\Catalogs\ install_Windows_Server_2008_SERVERDATACENTER.clg
Refer to the table in Incorporating Drivers Into the WIM Image for the list of device drivers to include in the install.wim file.
For example, to add the device driver for the Sun Storage PCIe SAS RAID HBA option, enter:
Key 1
Path \\wds-server\W2K8-Drivers\Lsi\1.19.2.64
For example:
UNC_domain
UNC_password
UNC_username
In the Windows System Image Manager application, click the Tools menu and select Validate Answer File.
c:\Unattend\Drivers\W2K8\Catalogs\ImageUnattend.xml
Exit the Windows System Image Manager application.
The creation of the ImageUnattend.xml setup script is complete.
Next Steps
For Windows Server 2008 R2 installation, proceed to Map ImageUnattend.xml Setup Script to Windows Server 2008 Install Image.
For Windows Server 2008 SP2 installations, proceed to Add Device Driver to the Boot WIM (Windows Server 2008 SP2 Only) prior to mapping the ImageUnattend.xml setup script to the install.wim image.
