What is the current sequence of steps for non-interactive Windows installation?

Question

Windows

In particular, Windows 2019 Hyper-V.
As I understand it:
- Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) - Image Configuration Editor - outdated and does not parse new wim files to the end,
- NTLIte crashes on my 10th with an unexpected error, in its log - "Checking for updates"
If there is no distributing server on the network and now you can only slip the ISO image for download.

Now there is a Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) and it has Windows System Image Manager.
You need to create a response file. What are the practices for generating responses and then uploading this file back to ISO?

Answer 1

I will answer the question myself:
- download Windows ADK
- this package will need DeploymentTool: DISM, WSIM, Oscdimg
- download the required Windows distribution in iso format
- unzip the ISO or connect it as a disk and copy the contents
- use dism to look and / or form the required image
- we generate the answer file Autounattend.xml for the required image
- we pack it with Oscdimg
- we install from the received image
When generating the answer file:
- we use WSIM for correct answers
- we carefully look at the intended purpose of the package, select the desired platform
- the steps used:
-- windowsPE
---- Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE
---- Microsoft-Windows-Setup
-- specialize
---- Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup
---- Microsoft-Windows-International-Core
-- oobeSystem
---- Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup
There are subtleties everywhere... A
good link to generate a response file.
Perhaps improvements are required.

Answer 2

I don’t know about the 2019 server, but I deployed 2012 R2 from a sysprep image, only at the very end the machine name and the new admin password asks
for everything else, it takes copying the image (as you like) and starting it with auto-installation of firewood, etc.
