Modifying the unattended.xml

Recommended Posts

I need to make some basic changes to my Win 2008 R2 install. One specific that I want to change is my UAC settings in 2008. I know that I can do this in my unattended file. For this setting for example, I know that I can make changes to the UAC settings which are in the EnableLUA section Microsoft-Windows-LUA-Settings. But I can't seem to figure out how to do that in the WAIK. Everything I've seen gives me stuff I can cut and paste into the XML, or just references the component I need to reference, but I don't have a clue how to create that reference in WAIK/WISM.

 

Can anyone post me a quick and simple "here's the steps to make component mods via the answer file editing process in MDT/WAIK?" I'd appreciate it. What I really need to know is how to create a new section for data that's not in the default answer file, such as creating a UAC setting.

 

I can get the stuff opened, but I can't seem to figure out the context to actually create a new setting and have it reference the changes that I want within WSIM.

I would use a GPO to do this.
