Hello Eric, and thank you for replying.
I had already worked through that article and here were my findings:
The unattend file was copied to the C:\windows\panther folder
CTOS did not create an entry for the provisioning in the unattend file
The C:\ldprovisioning folder is not populated correctly, as it has only the two files
When I execute the two files manually the files missing from C:\ldprovisioning are immediately created
The unattend file I imported is nearly identical to the one used for my x86 provisioning template (which works perfectly), differing only in processer architecture (amd64 vs. x86).
I will attempt to add entries into the unattend file to compensate by calling the executables, and I will post my results tomorrow.
