Hi,
I'm trying to autoinstall Windows Server 2016 and am using the following in the unattend file, however, it does not seem to be working.
1st I took the file from Windwsafg but that did not work as it first gave me a DiskConfiguration error for Partition setup, then I fixed that then I got a Product Key error. Then I took the unattend code from here https://social.technet.microsoft.co...dows-server-2016-unattended-installation.aspx
This causes the following error
Then I realized the code shown in the link above does not the DiskConfiguration tag, which I then got from the Windowsafg, once I add the complete DiskConfiguration tag it does not work and the server boots into the installation GUI.
The merged code is below.
