Still new to this, but I've been making considerable progress. Managed to get my first unattended install on my laptop working perfectly, so now I'm moving on to the desktop. The only thing I'm doing differently is adding more programs, and I would like to add in the WinXPTaskbar registry tweak. However, for one reason or another, the user account I defined in UserAccounts.cmd and Autologon.reg is being created as a limited account. When the programs defined in RunOnceEX start to install, they all pull lack of priviledge errors. I then have to log off the created account, into the passworded:( Here's what I've got, let me know if you see anything out of whack.
