I think I posted in the wrong section before sorry about that. Hi guys/gals just need to clear something up re 1 Auto admin logon and 2 useradd I have a script as suggested for adding user account as follows called via the cmdlines.txt net user "username" "password" /add net localgroup Administrators admin /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited EXIT I have also added via winnt.sif the following [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee83748755519cb3a9a659a1c4b2100fea EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=255 OemSkipWelcome=1 Autologon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 Now would I be correct in thinking that this will after the final build stage log into XP under the Adminsitrator account created in winnt.sif and then my runonce command will proceed. Then it will shut down and I will have to log in with the user account created above? The reason I ask is i didnt want to use the reg tweak as follows Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="username" "DefaultPassword"="password" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" as every time i reboot it auto logs in and I do not want that for obvious reasons. And if I change the password it comes up with an error on log in saying wrong pword and then I have to put in the one in that i changed it to in the user accounts control panel. Hope that is not to confusing Regards Mark and yes i have done a search but I am still confused by it.

Sorry wrong section. Deleted

Hi Guys,I am havind difficulty getting pass this final welcome screen. the part where you go next, then set up internet etc then finally add users. I have created a user via cmd and reg files as suggested, but I am at a loss as to why this screen comes up. If I add my user name of admin it then goes straight to the log in screen asking for my password which i created earlier. Can i get around around having to manuallly click throught this welcome screen? Example if winnt.sf is below. [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes AutomaticUpdates=yes [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=Yes UnattendedSwitch=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes Repartition=No WaitForReboot=No OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_chipsetr" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore KeyboardLayout="US-International" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee83748755519cb3a9a659a1c4b2100fea EncryptedAdminPassword= Yes OEMSkipRegional= 1 TimeZone= 255 OemSkipWelcome= 1 [UserData] ProductKey=* FullName="Private" OrgName="Home" ComputerName=* Thankyou in advance guys

G'day all, I have successfully automated my XP Pro install which I am very happy about. There is just 1 problem I wish to overcome to make it a total automated process! During the initial boot process I still have to press F6 to install my promise raid drivers so that XP recognises the hard disk's, and then format the hard drives accordingly. Can I automate the process as well or do I have to manually do this task. Thankyou in advance. Mark
