No, but it's been so long since this I did this, I had to re-read and you do need to automate both stages. jlc

Not sure if they helps you with your question. Jimmy From: Joseph L. Casale [mailto:jcas...@activenetwerx.com] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:07 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Win7 and WDS automated deployment The chm that comes with the AIK is pretty clear in what it requires to fully automate the setup and I have done this with vista numerous times but the boot image was automated as well. Is it expected that if you don't automate the boot image as well, even if you have the applicable WinPE section that wipes the disk/creates partition scheme that it gets ignored? What's the supported way to not automate the boot portion, but automate the image only instead? Or do I have to make a boot image for every source image such that when I choose which to boot from, its automated from there on out?
