Unable to create Application server role for Windows 2008 using Windows System Image Manager
- I am trying to use WDS with Windoes System Image Manager to deploy our Windows 2008 servers. I have sucessfully created unattended files for the various server types that we need to deploy except I am unable to find the Application Server Role. The only AppServer that I see listed under Packages/Foundation/x86Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package is for Terminal Server.
Thanks
Glen

Hi Glen,
Terminal Services Application Server (AppServer) installs Terminal Services in Application Server mode on the domain controller and Terminal Services Application Server Admin Pack (AppServer-UI) installs the tools used by the Terminal Services (Application Server) sub-role.
It seems the Application Server Role is not listed under Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package.
I suggest manually installing the Application Server Role on the master computer before running sysprep.
For more information about Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package Features, please refer to the following article:

Hope it helps.

Actually, using ServerManagerCmd.exe will allow the installation of the Application Server role.
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install Application-Server
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install AS-AppServer-Foundation
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install AS-Web-Support
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install AS-Ent-Services
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install AS-Dist-Transaction
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install AS-Incoming-Trans
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install AS-Outgoing-Trans
Here is information about the tool. I have validated it works on Server 2008 RTM.
