Did you make the settings package while pointed to the wrong image 
architecture? That unattend.xml is generated based on whatever image you had 
selected during the MDT TS creation.

If you are deploying a x86 image, it should not be showing amd64.

Also, I've had trouble with the Apply GPOPack messing up settings, it's 
supposed to be off by default, but I've seen the behavior otherwise, so I 
always disable/remove that step from my MDT 2013 TS's.

Subject: [MDT-OSD] CM2012 + MDT 2013 - Unattend.xml is all 64bit?

We're working on migrating our builds from SCCM 2007+MDT 2010 over to SCCM 
2012+MDT 2013 and I'm trying to troubleshoot some odd build results.  For 
example, in our 2007 build we set the "home_page" variable to our internal web 
page.  This gets pulled into Unattend answer file and our machine has our 
internal web site as the default homepage.  This exact same process doesn't 
work in our SCCM 2012 build.

We're also seeing that the GPO that enforces our corporate wallpaper isn't 
working anymore.  The machine builds but keeps the factory default Windows 7 
wallpaper.  The bitmap is there in Web\Wallpaper but it isn't enforced.  I 
build the same machine using our build in SCCM 2007 and it works perfectly.

One thing I've noticed is that the Unattend XML in our old MDT 2010 settings 
package was 32bit, all of the "processorArchitecture" values were x86.  Now in 
the MDT 2013 settings package the Unattend XML is all "amd64" for the 
"processorArchitecture".

Does that make any difference?  When deploying a 32bit OS are the 
"processorArchitecture" entries updated to "x86"?

Thanks
