Bug report: WDS Server, Browse button do not work !

-

browse button not work in "windows deployment services" console.

this bug exist in  windows server 2012 r2.
bug exist in english-us, french, , other languages (not related language)

to produce bug following:

on www.msdn.com download windows server technical preview 2 (vhd)
using hyper-v manager create virtual machine using "windowsserver_en-us_tp2_vhd.vhd" file
start virtual machine, specify password , logon administrator

at command prompt install wds server role in standalone mode folowing command:
powershell  add-windowsfeature  wds   -includemanagementtools   -includeallsubfeature

initialize wds role "in stand alone mode" folowing command:
wdsutil /verbose  /progress  /initialize-server  /server:localhost /reminst:c:\remoteinstall   /standalone

the bug exist if wds installed in standalone mode !

to create "prestaged device" , associate device answer file need "answer file".
reproduce bug  simple text file can created notepad in c:\remoteinstall\wdsclientunattend folder name pc1.xml. content of file not important reproduce bug.

now create local "prestaged device" , try associate existent answer file have created c:\remoteinstall\wdsclientunattend\pc1.xml:

servermanager, clic "tools", select "windows deployment services"

click "servers", click on name of server, right click "prestaged devices", select "add device",

( not confuse "prestages devices" "active directory prestaged devices" because "active directory prestages devices not available in stand alone mode),

name: pc1
deviceid: 123456123456, clic "next"

on page "boot", clic "next"

on page "client unattend", see bug click "browse", clic "c:", clic "remoteinstall", click "wdsclientunattend", clic "pc1.xml"

you can see pc1.xml not added "unattend file".

browse button fail add selected answer file ! can clic next buton selected file not associated prestaged device.

my opinion is: path unattend file must relative c:\remoteinstall , must not contain c:\remoteinstall.

if clic on browse button indicate full path , not accepted because bug. if fill manually full path next unattend file not accepted. file path relative c:\remoteinstall accepted. can confusing not know this.

workaround:
insted of clic on browse button, can write on keyboard relative path:  "wdsclientunattend\pc1.xml",
clic next, click back, can see unattend file wdsclientunattend\pc1.xml , right.

conclusion: relative path ok, full path including c:\remoteinstall not accepted. browse button not work !
