Enterprise LTSC 2019 answer files

[David Levine]

Hello Friends,

Has anyone successfully created an unattend or autounattend answer file for the LTSC 2019 version of Windows 10 Enterprise? If so, would you be willing to share it? If not, is anyone else trying to do this? Are there any step by step walkthroughs available yet- where are they?

I have a project before me to create an image for cloning to 80 new computers, and creating an uncluttered desktop is the goal for my end users. LTSB proved helpful in this respect, despite all the warnings against using it. We are a small company and do not use SCCM. I'm an old-fashioned manual desktop kind of person (dinosaur).

Thanks in advance,

David

I am just downloading the

Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC 64 Bit English iso to build an image.  I will be using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to create a bootable image. 

I guess I will need the latest 1809 ADK and the latest version of MDT.     I will keep you posted.

I had an issue when using an auto unattend, setup would always prompt for the OS to install even though I specified this in the unattend.

I loaded the OS with SIM, I then could see the name string for the OS

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019

Once I changed the string it worked as expected

this was just after image/name

Hi All,

Below is the autounattend file I used to install LTSC 2019. I started with a file created by the online answer file generator then ran said file through SIM to clear it all up. Not sure why the product key appears twice, but it worked just fine. OS comes up in sysprep audit mode for the rest of the reference image creation.
