Creating an Unattend XML file

Image Assist detects the system settings and creates an Unattend XML file that is used in the Sysprep process while preparing the image. This file enables you to customize the Windows installation to eliminate manual configuration of each system.

The Unattend XML file does not contain all the settings available in Windows System Image Manager. If you require additional settings, open the Unattend XML file in Windows System Image Manager and configure the additional settings.

NOTE:Ensure that you validate and test the Unattend XML file before submitting the image to Dell.

The following table describes the various fields and options that you can configure while creating the Unattend XML file:
