Hello, I would like to offer two suggestions

[Mr. Yu]

Hello,
I often use VM to complete all operations and package them, which requires the use of unattend.xml. The unmanned configuration page of NTLite is very simple and convenient, but WIM needs to be mounted to use it. Can I create unattend.xml without loading the image? Add this feature to the toolbar. This feature can be used by authorized users.


NTLite enables verification of image files by default. On a 15.6-inch computer with a 16:9 screen ratio,, there is no "OK" button when closing the page, only the "Enter" key can be used instead of "OK". Only closing will not take effect.


I hope to add the function of batch removing patches instead of removing them one by one, which would be very convenient.

Most users only need to create an Unattended file a few times. After you have a working answer file, I don't bother using NTLite to prepare it.

Just save a backup copy of autounattend.xml, and then copy it to your ISO folder. The unattended file is mostly portable, except if you're using a mixed environment of 32-bit & 64-bit images. For that situation, just click on the "Dual architecture" checkbox in the Toolbar and NTLite will repeat each Unattended XML block twice, once for each architecture type.

The only real difference between W7 and later releases is this XML:

                                <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
                                <HideLocalAccountScreen>true</HideLocalAccountScreen>
                                <HideOnlineAccountScreens>true</HideOnlineAccountScreens>
                                <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>

If you don't want pre-installed Updates in the base image, you can always use UUP dump (except for legacy W10 releases) and change the setting so it doesn't bother integrating KB updates into the image.

I would say you have too much OCD.

 

[Mr. Yu]

Thank you for your answer, Garlin. I will use your method, which seems more convenient.
Sincerely thank you for your work.

Yeah, that's a good method, just 2 things to add:

- Unattended page requires an image loaded to populate options, like available languages and such, they are not hard-coded.
Also no other page works without loading, so it would be a weird exception.

- Be careful if using Computer Name [Prompt] option, that one depends on the image editing as well, so copying just autounattend.xml in that particular case would cause a setup error.

Will check the settings page sizing, thanks for the feedback.
