Hi, i have build a server 2025 with WDS. I attatched the Windows 10 Boot.wim as a boot image in WDS. I created an NTLite Windows 11 25H2 unattended install.wim.
Attatched the intall.wim to the Install images in WDS. All fine so far. I was told to use a Windows 10 boot image in WDS. I did not provide this boot image in NTLite, just mouted a fresh one in WDS.
But non of the settings is working when deploying the image via PXE. The image is deployed well, but i still got all OOBE settings, all questions in the setup wizard and also not the Windows settings i provided in NTLite.
I double checked i enabled 'copy to install image' and 'copy to boot image'. i checked the install.wim via DISM and there is a Windows\Panther\unattended.xml file.
There is no other file higher in search order.

What i am doing wrong?
 
NTL don't support deletion of Panther folder files already created from sysprep related to the new Windows setup. Use legacy setup.
 
When you submit an ISO to WDS, it extracts the boot.wim & install.wim images and updates them. It adds extra hooks to call back to the WDS server in order to run task sequences. In this model, you generally don't use a local unattended file (from NTLite). Instead you build the unattended file thru the WDS console (Client tab properties).

You can still use NTLite to update the image and remove components. But the unattended options and Post-Setup should be handled thru WDS because it will present the unattended file to the running install.
