@sherder For me I had similar troubles with Windows 7. I came to 2 conclusions. sysprep + unattend is very finicky. If things are not perfect you get all kinds of odd behavior. The other was that many parts of it seem to not function as they should, the computer name being one of them. The CD key is another, many sites/articles say to use 00000… or XXXXX… repeated, but mine would fail unless I put a valid key in (ended up using the Windows generic install key that MS provides on their site, doesnt activate just gets install done).
Are you making your unattend by hand or using a tool to generate it?
@sherder said in Windows 10 Unattend file issues:
It skips the setup but doesn’t implement the changes that I put in with sed
Not clear on the above, could you elaborate what you mean here?
When the syspreped image boots back up, are there some things that have been applied by unattend and some that have not, or does it appear to not have applied any changes specified?
