Update: I got mine working now using the files mpyr posted. Thanks!

I'm actually inerested in how you got this combo of oobeinfo and edits to the winnt.sif working, because i've been attempting to do that too.

I would appreciate seeing your winnt.sif please. Thanks. Could you also post your useraccounts.cmd file?

Full version.

I supressed the restart , but it still doesnt help the problem of renaming the Administration account

Well I got the program to run, and it makes my account, but it doesnt log onto it the first time to not all programs are installed to it. Does anyone know the setting inside of the winhu config file to make it the primary user acct?

This may be our key! Great find. Ill test it tonight and post my results after i get back from school tomorrow.

well if we didnt do the $OEM$ step then we would just be doing an installation from cd. I dont think that setting the preinstall to no will have any effect on the user setup screen though.

oops i copy/pasted wrong, heh. Here's the data section: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" And with the current setup (this and what i posted on first page) it isn't working. It just installs without stopping to have me input anything. My programs all install fine, this is the only problem I am having(I would be adding users through scripts, but that gave me even MORE problems, and this is more flexible too).

Already had that set: [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=YES UnattendSwitch="No" TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Win9xUpgrade=No NtUpgrade=No [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=15 OemSkipWelcome=0 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FullName="Darksith" OrgName="Home" ComputerName=DARKSITH [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=60 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 AreaCode=xxxxx LongDistanceAccess="xxx" [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME [URL] Home_Page=http://www.google.com [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [IEPopupBlocker] BlockPopups=No FilterLevel=Low ShowInformationBar=Yes [WindowsFirewall] Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode = 0 [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd

Just ran it again and no luck

Do I want to change my Unattend mode to something other than Fullunattend ? [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=YES UnattendSwitch="No" TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Win9xUpgrade=No NtUpgrade=No

I have no idea why, but I have this set to "no" and the setup never comes up during install... On a side note, if i slipstreamed SP2 into this, do i need to install the NET framework or is it included?

I searched and couldnt find which options to enable/disable so I can manually add users during the setup. (basically i dont want it to skip that users setup screen.)

Well i tried using the oobeinfo.ini method, and now it created an admin account and logged in but: 1) Its name is administrator when i told it to be "Drew" 2) My batch file didnt install any of my programs. Every time i take a step forwards i am taking two backwards!

Getting rid of those files successfully created and logged on to the default admin account, and started the batch file. But now I have to manually make my own account, which I was hoping to avoid, but if need be i can just do it manually.

Heh, figures that I run into the never-before-seen bug. Is there any way for me to have setup log me into the administrator account, and I will just have to manually create my account later? Should I just get rid of the userlaccounts and autologon stuff to achieve this?

any ideas?

Here is my useraccounts.cmd @echo off net user Drew xxxxxx /add net localgroup Administrators Drew /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited REGEDIT /S autologon.reg EXIT Here is my autologon.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="Drew" "DefaultPassword"="xxxxxx" "AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Hi all, I am new here and there is probably a relatively easy fix to this, but here it goes. I have my installation creating a an account for me that has admin rights, and it logs into it after installation. It successfully logs into the account but it doesn't start the installation from my batch file. The account it creates is a gues account, and not an admin account. If I log off of my account, there is an account called "Administration", which i log onto, and the batch file starts installing successfully. Do you guys have any advice for me? (Tell me if you need the contents of any of my files. )

Im am running into the exact same problems as you. Lookin for the answers as well
