Hi Guys,

i would like to use NTLite to create an Image for Deployment. So far i have the image as i would like to have it.
Deploying it via WDS makes some trouble. Due one imports only the boot and install.wim, the rest ist not in the WDS server.
I know that it is possible to add the unattended.xml to WDS, but how do i add the Post Setup Files in WDS?

Any ideas?

Thank you very much in advance
 
include the ISO in NTLite. Open the mounted directory and place all msi files in a new folder there
After you have done this, go to post setup and add this command with your path so that the files are installed silently after login

“msiexec.exe /i <path> /qn”.
 
This isn't the correct process for a WDS deployment. WDS works by isolating the boot.wim & install.wim images from a source ISO, and deploying everything across the network. When importing an image, WDS remounts them and inserts its own scripts to call additional functions from the server side.

What is normally done by Unattended or Post-Setup is shifted to the server. Setup files are hosted on a network share, and the install machine calls scripts to run the post-setup installers.

While you could embed post-setup files inside the install image, that's not the WDS model. By keeping the post-setup files on the network share, WDS admins can just update their install tasks without touching the image.
 
Of course not. You can check their "Last seen" date, by hovering over the user's profile.

We do get a random WDS question from time to time. Even though WDS is now deprecated.
