USB Answer File problem with Server 2008.

[George Zeeman]

I am setting up a HP ProLiant ML350 with Windows SBS Server 2008, making use of an Answer File on a USB stick. I have done this installation before without the Answer File and the USB stick and that went well. But to be able to use a qualified domain name I had to do it again with an Answer File. I have noticed that the installation does not come to a successful end because of the USB device. It seems it is a well know problem when you search the internet. But the only thing I did not find there was THE solution to this problem. When to put in the stick with the Answer File and when to take it out seems to be the question. But it also could be something else. Did any one have the same experience, and/or knows how to tackle this?
