Question, when you install your DVD does it actually complete the installation, or are you still getting errors. I'm not convinced your autounattend.xml is even working, judging by the previous two, there were many errors that would stop the installation cold. We need to fix those first. Based on your verbiage I assume you did not remove the <ComputerName> section like instructed. The only way to make it prompt you for a computer name is to remove the <ComputerName> section from whichever XML you are using (edit with notepad if have to). For the user thing, why not create a dummy account via the XML so you don't get prompted and then delete that account during the setupcomplete.cmd phase so you don't have to worry about it. EDIT: If you attach (not post as text), you XML I will take a look and check it with WSIM. Not sure if the Quote/Code tags are altering the text somehow. Let me explain a little more clearly about what I'm trying to do because maybe I'm being misunderstood. I have already installed Windows 7 on a PC. I have 2 accounts already setup (Administrator and 1 other user). I don't want to add any more users. All I need to be able to do is run sysprep with an unattended file that will not require me to create a new user but at the same time I do want to be able to give a computer name when I add my (image) to another computer. So, I need the OOBE to run but without requiring me to create a new user account. This is our current process we use with Windows XP. I've attached my current Unattended file I've been working with.
