Can a cfg.ini answer file be used during set up of Windows Server 2012 "R2" Essentials

Question

Apparently the information in the this link "ONLY" pertains to NON-R2.

Can "R2" use a cfg.ini answer file in this way?

Or does "R2" use a .xml file and NOT a cfg.ini answer file?

Thank you.

No, it's not supported in the same fashion as non-R2.

Initial configuration for Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 setup can be done via PowerShell.

See this link for some information on these cmdlets, specifically the Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet.

Thank you. No wonder I couldn't get the answer file to work for nothing. : /
