You can't do better than using this section of the guide to create your user/s

Create User & Autologon

this didnt help much as the stuff i posted prior to your answer is everything exactly from that page.

anyone else have any ideas?

thanks

[Issues with $OEM$ folder with install]

ok all i came across something weird with this...

it seems as though when the PC logs in automatically, its loggin in under the name i set it to which is "mike". when the system logs in as mike, it does not install the programs, however when i log off mike and log on as administrator, the programs start to install automatically using the guirunonce

any thoughts??

here is my setup

in my $oem$ folder i have

"autologon.reg"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"DefaultUserName"="Mike"

"DefaultPassword"="XXXXXX"

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

then "cmdlines"

[COMMANDS]

"useraccounts.cmd"

"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

then "useraccounts.cmd"

net user Mike xxxxxx /add

net localgroup Administrators Mike /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

REGEDIT /S autologon.reg

EXIT

Then my second question is this, why is Mike not log in with admin privileges?

Thanks all

Mike

ok, i did this, now the unattended install doesnt work correctly. Now it ask me select "next" during the very first GUI windows XP setup piece.

Then, it automates the rest of the process and once windows loads it does not run the setup.cmd file i designed automatically

any thoughts?

[Issues with $OEM$ folder with install]

Hi all, my first time posting here. was wondering if someone could help me out, i've been working with the unatended install all night, and im at the frustrated point with the batch i have setup for the applications i have. i followed the directions 100% as stated on the website.

here is my config.

I386 and $OEM$ in the same folder

$1 under $OEM$

Install under $1

APplications under install

etc...

My batch file is located in $1 install folder and the winnt.sif file states:

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\install\start.cmd

but nothing is copying over when i test the iso in Virtual PC. anyone can help me out id appreciate it!

Thanks

Mike
