Hello, good, I am having a problem configuring the unattended mode that basically when I put the iso and start the windows with everything configured, windows opens but I get in the disk part that it does not find an image. What is the cause of that? Thanks.
 
Please attach your preset (without passwords or license).
Hello good, is there any way to be able to do the unattended installation without having to use an official Windows license for windows server 2019? Because I was doing it without a license. All the best.
 
You can install Windows using generic license keys, which is different from the activation key. No, we need the NTLite preset.
 
I don't know if you understand Spanish but the first photo is what I get when I want to put the windows. And the rest is what I have configured.

Hello, I'm new to this, what do I really need to take a picture of so you can help me? I do not speak English very well. Sorry
 
Attach a copy of the NTLite XML file. Inside the folder C:\Program Files\NTLite\Presets
 
Without a product key, I got the same error "Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms".

Original ISO + no unattended = Setup menu
SERVERSTANDARD + no unattended = Setup menu
SERVERSTANDARD + WinPE-only unattended = no license terms
SERVERSTANDARD + WinPE & Setup locale unattended = no license terms

Server Eval is always tricky, this problem might take a while to identify...

Hi there, A colleague of mine does work for him, I'll send you his file first and then I'll send you mine and if you know how to solve it, tell me something. Thanks.

Hi,

confirmed, please remove from .\autounattend.xml the following lines:

Code:
            <UserData>
                <ProductKey>
                    <Key></Key>
                </ProductKey>
            </UserData>

Or set a correct generic product key.
Save changes, remake ISO by going to the Source page, right-click image folder and choose Create ISO.

Will add a fix for this, haven't yet fully figured out which images need this when not setting a product key.
For example a normal, non-evaluation Server 2019, did not require this step, it was working fine with your preset.
