Windows deployement server.

[aurrorax]

Hello,

 

I require help with the following,

 

I need to roll out windows 8.1 pro using WDS ( Windows deployment server), however everytime I install windows 8.1 pro using WDS I do have get the screen for settings and creating a microsoft or local account, My question is, is there anyway to remove the settings and the create an account screen since users are logging into a Windows domain anyway, in short I want to make it so that users only get a screen to log in with their AD account when they receive a new machine.

 

 

Thanks for reading and help in advance.

you might want to look into unattended install this is a way of making a file that just awners all the question you get during a windows install like product key time and also users

We are already doing this but we want to make it so that the user gets dropped into the windows logon screen without having to call the IT departement for the initial settings like in the screenshot below,

so like he said it looks like there are settings for the individual things but no a general option

Thanks for your help however I have very little experience working with .xml files etc, but after a metric butt ton of research I found out I need a awnser file or unattended install file (.xml), and what I need to it do for my windows 8.1 pro is select the dutch language and currency and US internatonal keyboard install on a single local disk (no partitions) and select the express settings and drop me at the logon screen that makes me able to login to the domain.

 

In short, I know what I need but I have no idea how to make this work.
