Windows Server 2019 | Unattended Installation

INTRO

Microsoft Windows Logo Curious Blue Background

Automating the install of Windows Server 2019 with an Answer File created in Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) is done the same way we do with Windows 10 with an Answer File. I generated the catalog file and began my testing.

ANSWER FILE NOTES

  • I used the evaluation version and so the Product Key section was not needed in the answer file. For VL, Retail, and OEM distribution channel media you may need to include the Product Key.
  • This for the Server Standard edition.
  • Partitioning layout is my own preferred layout, not Windows default.
  • Computer Name is WR-SVR-DC-01
    • Naming Convention: WinReflection – Server – Domain Controller – Instance of Install
  • Sever Manager will not open at logon.
  • Internet Explorer taskbar shortcut is created.
  • Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is turned off.
  • Internet Explorer default search provider is set to Google, with Bing being added to options.
  • Internet Explorer has my own custom preferences configured.
  • Remote Desktop is configured to be allowed in the Firewall and Remote Desktop is enabled.
  • AutoActivation is set to disabled.
  • The local built-in Administrator account will auto-login 2 times with the password being: “Password01!”.
  • A local user account called WinReflection will be created and added to the local Administrators group with the password being: “Password01!”.
  • A first login command is executed adding a registry key to disable the Sign-in Background.
  • Time Zone is set to Central Standard Time.

WINDOWS SERVER 2019 – PREPARING FOR INSTALL

The passwords in these Answer Files are hashed in Base64, you can use an online decoder to get the value, which I will give you. It’s “Password01!” without quotes. Both the Administrator and Support user accounts will have this password, and you need to change them after the OS is installed. The dummy password is just to get things going that’s why it’s not a secure one.

Additionally, if you need to install to a different disk, you need to first boot the installation media and go into Command Prompt via Windows PE. See below for commands and output on one of my servers using DiskPart.

BAT (Batchfile)
C:\Users\Administrator>diskpart

Microsoft DiskPart version 10.0.17763.1911

Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: WR-SVR-DC-01

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0   Online        232 GB  0       B   *
Disk 1   Online        232 GB  1024    KB  *

The DiskIDs will be listed, and this is what will be seen when the OS installed. There are two lines in the Answer File with the DiskID. You need to replace “0” with the DiskID you want to install to. If you get this wrong, you will lose data wiping a different disk. If you do not see your disks, it’s most likely because Windows PE does not have drivers for your SATA or RAID controllers, and you will need to integrate those with DISM commands and then use DISM commands again to integrate the drivers or use third-party software like NTLite.

The easiest way to get the drivers you need is on a fully installed OS; you simply use these commands to export all third-party drivers (.inf) into a folder. You will want to do this before installing since there is no GUI or Windows Desktop to do so after the fact. You will want to integrate into both the install.wim image and the boot.wim images.

I have noticed when using the Answer File saved to a USB drive, sometimes Windows Setup boots-up before the chipset and USB controllers are ready, so you may need to click “Install” first, but after that the install should take off in unattended fashion. The only way around this is to integrate the AutoUnattend.xml file into the boot.wim image next to Windows Setup, this is explained in a post I made years ago in 2018 which you can find.
