    It should be the Client tab, not the boot tab.

    If the goal was just to boot an image, you would use Boot. However, the question says you are installing a Client image. The Client image needs an unattend.xml found only in the Client tab in order to install a specific image automatically.

      Now that I’m remembering, the Client tab may not be the only tab to accept unattend.xml files. However, Client tab is still correct in this instance.

      It is only on the Client tab that one can specify further configurations inside of the image being booted into.

      Simply:
      Boot tab XML can contain things like where you’re connecting to for boot images, username/pass for directory share, etc.
      Client tab XML contains more in-depth OS info like username/pass you will have on the OS once it’s booted into, auto-configuration of installation process, Windows key parameters, etc.

    I also agree with Client tab. This is the tab where you configure unattended installation. The question says that this should be automatically, not only a default boot image (which is in the Boot tab). So Client tab is the right answer since it is the place where we automatically set it to boot, then in the x86 box we specify the XML file which will tell what image to use (in this case Image1)

    The boot image allow you to select an install image from a list.
    You can specify a particular boot image with Boot tab but you can’t install any custom image automatically. For this, you must configure Client tab with an unattended file which specify image and options installation.

    Client tab for me!

    The boot tab is where you select the boot image (win PE etc) for each architecture. That’s what handles authenticating to the wds server and showing the menu of install images etc.

    On the client tab you say which unattend xml file is used for each architecture. I’ve never used unattend xml files at work (does anyone use them?) but from a quick read this file has a node called ImageInstall under which you can specify the image to be installed.

  5. Miles Prower says:

    It is the Client tab as “custom images of Windows 8” means it’s an custom image not a boot image so nothing to do with the boot tab and: “computers automatically install an image named Image 1” means it needs an unattended installation:
