[Autologon doesn't work]

As far as I know you cannot use the autologon during an unattend setup if you encrypt the password.

[SP2 changes Desktop-Scheme]

You can use the '[shell]'-Section in 'winnt.sif/unattend.txt' for this scenario.

Simply add

[shell]

DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes

DefaultThemesOff = Yes

to the file and that's it. With this two options the start panel und the windows theme are set for all users to 'classic style'.

the easiest way to do this is if you are only connected to one of the networks at a time is to choose the dhcp option "obtain ip address automatically" on the network

This will not work because he needs one connection to a domain and another to a workgroup.

As far as I know there's no built-in possibility to handle this, but there are third-party tools available for this purpose. (MultiNetwork Manager)

No, there are many more things which can be configured for an unattended installation. Just download the updated 'ref.chm'-file on the same page...

Probably I'm blind, but I haven't found a hotfix file for the german XP which includes all available updates. Therefore I extended the existing one.

The file is for the german XP Professional. Hope this helps someone.

I tested it and it worked.
