Note, this will not work if used directly, as those strings need to be replaced before it’s usable: ĭ:\Software\setup64.exe /s /v'/qn REBOOT=R' With all that said, here’s a sample file with some key strings included so that our PowerShell can find and replace them with values from our JSON inputs. A vital reference for that (in case you go beyond what I show in the posts) is this: Sample autounattend.xml template file Within each pass you can add one or more ‘components’ which are categories of functionality that can be executed during those phases. You can achieve several parts of the desired identity configuration during these passes and even install a few bits of software.Ī good resource for understanding the order of passes and what each of them is intended for can be found here: The installation itself uses several passes (consider these to be stages of installation). However, they can be stored at the root of any drive mounted to the machine during boot (Windows will search them all) Typically, unattended windows installations are controlled using an autounattend.xml file stored at the root of the installation media.
