It's not a bug. MS wants that we don't use this setting. Cause system can end up in unproper state, if you use <SkipMachineOOBE>. Instead you should answer all "questions" of MachineOOBE in your AutoUnattend.xml. These settings are described in the doc Settings to Use for Automating Windows Welcome in Unattended Setup Reference Help file. And there is a bug. It will ignore the setting for Network Location in Autounattend.xml. You need to fix that with a regtweak for the moment: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\FirstNetwork" /v Category /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f /d 00000000 means Home/Work /d 00000001 means Public The key has to be set after sysprep but before OOBE will run. For further information about <SkipMachineOOBE> read here on Microsoft Forums. Regards, Martin How i place this reg file in my dvd, and where do i put the command?
