Note

To enable this Network Load Balancing setting, the NetworkLoadBalancingFullServer package must be enabled in the Windows® image you are installing. To do this, use Windows System Image Manager to add the Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package to your answer file, and then configure the NetworkLoadBalancingFullServer package to enable it. For more information about adding and configuring packages, see the Windows® Assessment and Deployment (Windows ADK) Technical Reference.
