We're getting very stuck in our office at the moment.
We're upgrading all of our old XP machines to Win7 over the summer holiday while the school is closed. As we have so many machines we have set up a WDS server.
Last week we had both 32bit and 64bit images deploying correctly using unattended answer files but we were running in to issues with the names being assigned to the machines. Some were duplicating and causing the domain join to fail.
We played about with the naming convention settings and settled on having the WDS hold the machines for approval which allows us to manually name them.
Somewhere along the line the 64bit answer file stopped working completely and we can't work out why. As far as we can tell it is identical to the 32bit one in terms of what settings are applied etc.
We have created a new image, several new answer files and nothing seems to be making it work again.
Here are the files we are using at the moment: LINK
The 32bit works perfectly but the 64bit prompts for everything.
Is there something really simple that we're missing?
EDIT: Each file (WDSClientUnattend and ImageUnattend) work perfectly fine in isolation. Things start to break down when we apply both unattended files. After selecting the image we want to install it tries to use the WDSClientUnattend file again and this is cached in %windir%\panther. I have no idea why it is trying to use this file a second time.
