Workaround for provisioning the Windows 2012 R2

The following changes are required in System Package Type and System Package to provision a Windows 2012 R2 X64 OS.

System Package Type (SPT)

There is no specific System Package Type (SPT) for Windows 2012 R2 X64 OS provisioning , so use the customized Windows 2012 X64 SPT.

For example, name of the existing OOB Windows 2012 X64 SPT should be specified as:

  • Windows Server 2012 DataCenter x64
  • Windows Server 2012 Standard x64

System Package (SP)

Create the System Package using the above SPT. To provision the Windows 2012 R2 OS following workaround is required:

OS Component Tab:

  1. Open the system package and select OS components.
  2. Select the OS options.
  3. Server Roles/Features that are listed, do not support provisioning of the Windows 2012 R2 OS.
  4. Check the Use Script to install Roles/ Features field and provide the OS component command as below:
    DISM.exe /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:IIS-WebServer /FeatureName:IIS-WebServerRole

Unattended Entries Tab

  1. Open the System Package and select Unattend Entries tab.

  2. If you select the Customize the Unattend Entries File option, add/replace the XML value with R2 based on the type of OS as listed below:

  3. If you select Additional Unattend Entries then replace the above XML value by selecting corresponding XML tags as shown below:
