Identifier specifies the interface to apply to the other settings within Interface. It can be expressed in any one of the following ways:

Note
The settings in Interface must be added in the following order: Ipv4Settings, Ipv6Settings, Identifier, UnicastIpAddresses, and then Routes. After saving your Unattend file in Windows SIM, verify in the XML file that the output is shown in the correct order, as shown in the XML example below.

Values

Identifier

Specifies the interface to apply to the other settings within Interface. Identifier is a string with a maximum length of 256 characters.

This string type does not support empty elements. Do not create an empty value for this setting.

Note
In computers with multiple occurrences of the same type of network interface, such as a LAN connection, the LUID and interface aliases for each interface are not guaranteed to be the same between different builds. After installation, verify that the settings were applied to the correct interface.
