# Map `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script to Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) Install Image

Follow the steps in this procedure to map the `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script (created in an earlier procedure in this section) to the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) `install.wim`.

1. Insert the Windows Server 2008 SP2 DVD media into the DVD reader of the system that is hosting the Windows Deployment Services.

2. Perform the following to launch the Windows Deployment Services administration tool and import the Windows Server 2008 SP2 install WIM.

   1. Click `Start`-->`All Programs` -->`Windows Deployment Services`.

   2. Right-click `Install Images` and select `Add Install Image`.

      Note that if no image groups exist, create a new image group named Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 and click `Next`.

   3. Click `Browse` to select the Windows Server 2008 SP2 Install WIM image located at: `DVDDrive:\sources\install.wim`; then proceed by clicking `Open` then `Next`.

   4. Select the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) edition (Data Center, Standard, or Enterprise) to import into Windows Deployment Services, then click `Next`.

   5. To import the specified Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) edition install image, click `Next` twice, then click `Finish`.

3. Launch the Deployment Tools Command Prompt as Administrator.

   Fore example:

   - Click Start -->All Programs -->`Microsoft Windows AIK`, then right-click `Deployment Tools Command Prompt`, and select `Run as Administrator`.

4. In the Deployment Tools Command Prompt, perform the following:

   1. Use the `cd` command to change the directory to the folder containing the Windows Server 2008 SP2 install WIM image.

      For example, the Windows Server 2008 SP2 Datacenter (x64) edition WIM image would be located at:

      `cd Drive:\RemoteInstall\images\Windows Server 2008 SP2`

   2. Use the `mkdir` command to create a directory with the exact same spelling and case as the imported Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) WIM image.

      `mkdir install`

      Note - Selecting the defaults when importing the install image for Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) will create an installation WIM file called `install.wim`.

   3. Use the `cd` command to change the directory to the imported Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) folder, then use the `mkdir` command to create an `Unattend` directory.

      For example:

      `cd install`

      `mkdir Unattend`

   4. Use the `cd` command to change the directory to the `Unattend` directory, then use the `copy` command to copy the `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script (created in an earlier procedure in this appendix) to the `Unattend` directory.

      For example:

      `cd Unattend`

      `copy C:\Unattend\Drivers\{W2K8|W2k8R2}\Catalogs\ImageUnattend.xm` `l`

5. Perform the following steps to open the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) image properties.

   1. Launch the Windows Deployment Services administration tool.

      Click `Start`-->`All Programs`-->`Windows Deployment Services`.

   2. In the Windows Deployment Services (WDS) Administration tool, click and expand the `Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) image group`.

   3. Right-click`Microsoft Windows Server (SP2 or R2)` and select `Properties`.

6. Perform the following steps to map the `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script to the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) image.

   1. In the General Tab of the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) image properties, check `Allow image to install in unattended mode` and click `Select File`.

   2. Browse to the following location (specified in Step 4d) then click `OK`.

      `Drive:\RemoteInstall\images\{W2K8|W2K8R2}\install\Unattend\ImageUnattend.xml`

   3. Click `OK` to map the `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script to the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) WIM image.

      The Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) WIM image is ready to be installed using the Windows Deployment Services.

   4. Exit the Deployment Tools Command Prompt and the Windows Deployment Services Administration tool.

7. To deploy the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2), refer to the following procedure:

   Install Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) Using PXE Network Boot.
