If one types in "net users" to the cmd, which displays are users "Owner" does not appear, it is a really bizarre problem. I think I'll try installing a non nLite'ed disc with my winnt.sif and oobeinfo.ini and see what happens. If that fails it might be time to find another XP disc!

I wasn't aware the two were related; surely the name in the sif refers to who the product is registered to, the name in the sif relates to my desired username. Should the two be the same?

1. It's related I guess, but is a different problem. Previously I couldn't get the user to be created, now it won't autologon; probably should have just used the last post. 2. I didn't mean to copy the UnattenedInstall line across, I don't use it at all in my ISO. I don't get the OOBE showing without it anyway, including doesn't solve the problem. 3. Product key removed. Are there any things I need to add to my winnt.sif or oobeinfo.ini to get the autologon working properly?

I am using the oobeinfo.ini method to create one user on XP Home. Unfortunately the user created doesn't autologon and what's more when I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del the default user name in the user name box is "Owner". The user "Owner" does not exist, I checked that when I logged on as "Leo". From what I have read on the unattended guide, if only one user is created, it should autologon, is that correct? Could my problem have anything to do with using the classic login rather than the welcome screen, would be odd? winnt.sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstal="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\000_VIDEO;drivers\002_LAN;drivers\003_MOUSE;drivers\004_MODEM;drivers\005_MEMORY" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=12345 FullName="Leo Kent" OrgName="" ComputerName=VAIO [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1280 YResolution=800 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000809 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [GuiRunOnce] Command0="rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\athlon\HP 1300" oobeinfo.ini: [UserInfo] Identity000="Leo" [StartupOptions] Registration=1 Offline=1 [Options] IntroOnly=0

Thanks for the help, is there anyway to prevent the Owner user from being created in the first place.

So if I put the following in my winnt.sif under [GuiUnattended], it should logon to the Admin account instead of "Owner": AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 I guess I can just setup a RunOnceEx to delete the "Owner" account and create my own username?

I created all of the $OEM$ folder contents. -$OEM$ --cmdlines.txt --autologon.cmd --RunOnceEx.cmd --useraccounts.cmd --$1 ---drivers ----//drivers here --$$ ---system32 ----wpa.dbl ----cmdow.exe

I have been using the MSFN's Unattended installation guide to make an XP Home CD for my laptop. I have used the Net User method to create a user "Leo" and have setup autologon for this user. I have tested this on Virtual PC '04 and the user "Leo" has certainly been created, but a user called "Owner" has been created at a later date. I know this because the autologon's DefaultUserName has been changed to "Owner" and yet the password remains as it was when I set it in autologon.reg. Can anyone tell me how to prevent the user "Owner" being created, or how to rename it to Leo so I don't have to create a new user? cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,nLiteReg" "RunOnceEx.cmd" useraccounts.cmd: net user Leo removed /add net localgroup Administrators Leo /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited REGEDIT /S autologon.reg EXIT autologon.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="Leo" "DefaultPassword"="removed" "AutoAdminLogon"="1"
