Identifier
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Vista
Identifier specifies the interface to apply to the other settings within Interface. It can be expressed in any one of the following ways:
The string representation of an interface net locally unique identifier (NetLUID) (0x6000001000000)
The interface alias (for example, Local Area Connection)
The interface MAC address (00-11-22-33-44-55)
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.

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.
