Serva "Pro" will respect your winnt.sif entries, then there is always the risk of breaking things by overwriting some of Serva's required parameters. Serva "Supporter" on the other hand has an edition engine able to keep winnt.sif user added parameters. This means "non-Supporter" users have to manually re-enter their unattended settings after a Serva winnt.sif update.

Users that want to automate this kind of install have to populate winnt.sif with the desired unattended parameters considering a couple of points:
Unattend file generator drivers#
Additionally when we include OEM drivers under \$OEM$\$1\Drivers\NIC\ Serva updates winnt.sif telling the OS being installed that there are certain directories containing OEM drivers ready to be processed. Winnt.sif is initially created by Serva setting the networking parameters required by the net install process. In case of an unattended install it additionally becomes the answer file that holds the install automation data. This file normally contains information about available RIS services, the destination computer, and the type of installation you are performing. In this case the WIA unattended install capabilities are fully controlled by the corresponding \_SERVA_\winnt.sif. In this chapter we explore Serva's unattended install capabilities as an extension of the concepts developed on PXE/BINL - AN01.1: Windows Network Install - WDS OSs and PXE/BINL - AN01.2: Windows Network Install - RIS OSs WDS/MDT/SCCM boot WIMs and their repositories.ġ.2.1 Serva PXE/BINL - AN01: Windows Install Microsoft Install CD/DVD/ISO of the OSs you want to network install.
Unattend file generator how to#
The objective of this document is to show you how to handle Microsoft Windows unattended PXE install scenarios, PXE booting WindowsPE, and finally setting Serva as a single PXE front-end simultaneously targeting Serva's own repository, Microsoft WDS/MDT/SCCM repositories, and more. Starting an automated network boot of Windows PE or an advanced network install of anything from Windows 2000 to Windows 10, taking no more than 15 minutes and a ~4 MB download.
