Some issues with Proxmox. [ autounattended.xml ] file. #29

Closed mithubindia closed 3 months ago

mithubindia commented 4 months ago

I tried to create a very small iso on Linux using this command.

mkisofs -o -R unattendedwin.iso /home/user/autounattend.xml

Whenever I use unattendedwin.iso as additional cddrive in Proxmox, windows sees autounattended.xml file in truncated format and refuses to use it [ obviously ] .

Do you know any other method of creating a separate iso for autounattended.xml [ This saves playing with original windows iso and problems related to put the autounattended.xml file in a same iso ] This will be super useful for Virtual machine on all platforms like Proxmox, Hyper-V , Vmware, Neutanix etc.

Hi there.

I don't know of a method at this time. Will get back to you if I do though. In the meantime, if you figure it out, please share the soluiton here.

Use packer to create your proxmox windows template with the autounattend.xml and then just clone a vm from the template.

This will also work for vsphere.

There is no issue on this xml
