[MDT-OSD] WDS deploy Windows 10 UEFI and GPT

[Kish n Kepi]

I'm failing to deploy Windows 10 64-bit to a UEFI-running ThinkPad, using
WDS on Server 2012 R2. 

I've created an unattended.xml file - full text all the way below - that
creates the EFI, MSR, and Primary partitions (do I need a WinRE 'recovery'
partition? With WinRE.wim?)

Basically, the deploy looks like it's working, with the green checks showing
on copy files, add features, add drivers, and Finishing Up, and then it
throws the error message "Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted
installation file."

 

 

EventViewer shows:

SessionGuid: {3d26fxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}

MAC: 50-7B-xxxxxxxxxx

IP: 192.168.xx.xx

ClientDeviceID: {BCCD0xx-xxx-1xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxx}

ClientArchitecture: x64

ErrorMessage: Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file.
Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system
administrator for assistance.

Which doesn't add any intelligence.

 

The client laptop is set to UEFI Only, and CSM: yes

 

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

 

By the way, does unattend.xml need to be named unattend.xml or can I have
several versions of unattend with appropriate names?

 

Thanks,
