CATTANK

That isn't a bad idea at all actually, thanks cluberti. Would just need to work out if I could get it to run the script after the user inputs their username, the machine will then just rename to their username+year add them as a local admin and to other groups, the unattend would join them to the domain. But just out of curiosity can you run a .Net app inside winPE?

Hi Tripredacus, thanks for the reply, after reading my question, I'm not too sure if I've used the right terminology. I want it to run during that first boot where the user selects the regional settings, calendar date/time etc. I believe it is running a PE version of Windows, but not too sure if it has the .net framework running. Most things will be done with the unattend file, it is just that we also do a few things using a script which requires input from the end user and I would like to make the process prettier than an inputbox.

Instead of using a vbscript inputbox to ask for a username to use, I would like to make it more presentable by using a .net app which would then build a script and run it based on input from the user. (naming the computer, joining to domain, adding local admin etc) Is this at all possible?

Hi everyone, after doing a few Google searches I've found this to be a place of information for customizing Windows and developing unattended installations. Hopefully I will be able to learn a lot and also be able to contribute as well Just starting out developing images for Windows 7 Deployment, bit of a learning curve, but hopefully this forum will save me from pulling my hair.
