Autounattend.xml Disk Configuration for UEFI based setup.

[taubman]

Hi Guys,

Currently working on Autounattend.xml configuration for Server 2016 / Hyper-V 2016 Core and Windows 10. Its hard to find correct disk configuration for each platform.

So far used

EFI - 100MB (Used to be 200MB or 400MB in older OS's?)

MSR - 128MB

Primary Partition - Extend

But have noticed if do manual disk configuration sometimes get

RECOVERY - 450MB (Do we need this partition?)

EFI - 100MB

MSR - 16MB

PRIMARY - Extend

What is the recommended disk configuration for Server 2016 and Hyper-V Server 2016?


Here is a sample of my Autounattend.xml for these 3 platforms?

<CreatePartitions>
<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
<Order>1</Order>
<Size>100</Size>
<Type>EFI</Type>
</CreatePartition>
<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
<Order>2</Order>
<Size>128</Size>
<Type>MSR</Type>
</CreatePartition>
<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
<Extend>true</Extend>
<Order>3</Order>
<Type>Primary</Type>
</CreatePartition>
</CreatePartitions>

Thanks


Regards,

Shane
