  1. crud I get confused between the 2 since I have neither.

    I think you want your auditSystem with this

                <AutoLogon>
    <Enabled>true</Enabled>
    <LogonCount>2</LogonCount>
    <Username>Administrator</Username>
    </AutoLogon>
    <UserAccounts>
    <LocalAccounts>
    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
    <Password>
    <Value></Value>
    <PlainText>true</PlainText>
    </Password>
    <Group>Administrators</Group>
    <Name>Administrator</Name>
    </LocalAccount>
    </LocalAccounts>
    </UserAccounts>

    maxXPsoft, thanks a bunch for your feedback so far!

    some questions (still) remain, sorry to bother you so much, I apologize...

    • Does the above auditSystem mean that the oobeSystem does no longer need an Administrator account to be created as Local Account?
    • Is it necessary to be consistent to set timezone and username and registeredorg entries for all the passes mentioned?
    • copyprofile line is needed for me, I think, or is the use of it not needed for what I am trying to achieve (apply all what I want and gets copied to user account Chris in this case)? or am I overlooking something?
    • The key values are intentionally X-es, as I want to enter my Key manually when needed, will this also work?
    • the SkipOOBE settings set to false, is that also correct? as I have added in oobeSystem pass an extra account called Chris, which is going to be mine... Unsure...

  2. With N version I would remove all the IE settings as it may error. Like

    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer

    Microsoft-Windows-powercpl doesn't work. best run a cmd file

    REM Adding Powerplan

    POWERCFG -SETACTIVE 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

    REM ALL TO 120 minutes time and you can change.

    POWERCFG -X -monitor-timeout-ac 120

    POWERCFG -X -disk-timeout-ac 120

    POWERCFG -X -standby-timeout-ac 120

    POWERCFG -X -hibernate-timeout-ac 120

    REM or hibernate OFF

    POWERCFG -H OFF

    Don't add default values remove <DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>

    You will Autologon in Auditsystem with Administrator and use his full name by setting Username to Administrator (only the English word

    I'll look at the rest but time for work and am on OT

    and

    N editions

    The features in the N Editions are the same as their equivalent full versions, but do not include Windows Media Player. The cost of the N Editions are the same as the full versions, as Windows Media Player can be downloaded without charge from Microsoft for the N Editions.

    I think you are confused, the N editions are without Windows Media Player, exactly what I want :)

    Nevertheless I thank you for your input & feedback...

    I will wait till you have had time to investigate the rest as well... and answer my questions above... Thanks again!

    Do you think the audit passes are still needed? as I am unsure

    Will try this in a VMWare host perhaps first when I have a bit more spare time this week...

  3. Hello all,

    This thread is going to have a bump :)

    Since I have been making some efforts in making a 64-bit autounattend.xml file (code below)

    Is my 1st attempt...

    I am curently working from XP now...

    Now I am unsure about the correctness of it, maybe I have put too much in there... I don't know...

    All what I want to achieve is to install Win 7 Ultimate N with SP1 onto my machine using the DVD and an "semi-unattended" way of installing it by using an unattended file...

    most important though is this code-bit below... which I think warrants to have the auditUser & auditSystem passes to be in place, is it not?


    <settings pass="oobeSystem">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <Reseal>
    <ForceShutdownNow>false</ForceShutdownNow>
    <Mode>Audit</Mode>
    </Reseal>
    <FolderLocations>
    <ProgramData>F:\DATA\SYSTEM\PROGS</ProgramData>
    <ProfilesDirectory>F:\DATA\USERS</ProfilesDirectory>
    </FolderLocations>
    </component>
    </settings>

    Questions:

    • is this a correct way of dealing with the whole autounattend.xml file data (complete code below)?
    • are the audit passes needed for what I am trying to achieve keeping in mind I want programdata and user profiles dir changed...?
    • very important question actually, where do I best put the autologon for administrator, i.e. in which pass, as there are multiple options to put it.. It confuses me...
    • Is it necessary to be consistent in this? i.e. timezone and username and registeredorg entries for all the passes mentioned?
    • copyprofile line is needed for me, I think, or is the use of it not needed for what I am trying to achieve (apply all what I want and gets copied to user account Chris in this case)? or am I overlooking something?
    • The key values are intentionally X-es, as I want to enter my Key manually when needed, will this also work?
    • the SkipOOBE settings set to false, is that also correct? as I have added in oobeSystem pass an extra account, which is going to be mine... Unsure...

    can you guys give me feedback on it and show me the pitfalls I obviously must have made... :)

    later on I will make a x86 version of it (easy :P), when all seems to be correct in the end...

  4. 1. Yes you can implement/run it during installation - you can use one of two methods; a. run from the SVCPack.ini file or b. run from Runonce. See information here on how to do it... RunOnce Method

    2. Nlite can create oeminfo.ini for you, however if you use this tool, the information that Nlite will write to oeminfo.ini will be overwritten. Having said that, this tool provides far more informative information than the basic stuff that Nlite adds. You could combine the two manually, or if you really wanted to - you could modify the script to append the additional information to oeminfo, however personally i think that would defeat the purpose of the tool.

    Hope this answers your questions.

    Enjoy!

    Thank you for answering my questions!

    Was helpful indeed ;)

  5. Can anyone help me with the following ideas I'm having with this...

    First of all I am actually not at all familiar with programming, but I am actually very find of this "solution" you guys provide here with the VBS script.

    Now I have a few questions regarding this...

    1. How can one actually implement this into a install source, install CD if you like?
      In other words, can it be implemented during setup, and if yes how?
    2. Most important one here: if someone uses nLite to customise his/her install source, you can choose to make such oeminfo as well...
      Now is it possible for example to combine both outputs to one single oeminfo.ini file?
      I know one can edit it manually, but would it be possible to to it automated/unattended?

    Thank you for your thoughts & help in advance!

  6. You can try it. Use the Custom Name option. But remember you have to manually edit the cdshell.ini file in the boot directory.

    Siginet does that also apply for WinXP 64-bit, cos I would like to make such customised XP CD, which includes XP 32-bit and one 64-bit version on one disk, ofcourse slimmed down ;)

  7. I use PerfectDisk 7.0.42 now :) Works like a charm... does fill my needs sufficiently

    But I stumble across a problem with it every time now that I want to operate PerfectDisk on my new Maxtor HDD 160 GB along with my older Maxtor 40GB...

    Ok I have the primary master IDE 160 GB disk partitioned in 7 partitions (and so does my brother's PC, same setup more or less):

    1. OS partition (WinXP Pro SP2 (nLited)): NTFS 3.757,4 MB (cluster size: 512)
    2. Drivers partition: FAT32 753,0 MB (cluster size: 512)
    3. Personal data partition: NFTS 2.008,1 MB (cluster size: 512) (see notes below)
    4. Other data partition: NTFS 127.421,8 MB (cluster size: 512) (or 134.285,5 MB (cluster size: 512 (or default 4K)) (see notes below)
    5. Games partition: FAT32 12.056,6 MB (cluster size: 4K)
    6. Pagefile partition: NTFS 1.153,1 MB (cluster size: 512)
    7. temporary files (not IE, may do that in future too): 2,204,2

    My brother's PC which I set up is more or less the same, except the temp partition which is 9.067,9 MB NTFS (for making DVDs mainly, will resize it later on), and the other data partition...

    Notes:

    If I boot up my PC with Hiren's BootCD 7.0 (:D) which contains Partition Magic Pro 8.05 and do some partition work, like resizing size or resizing cluster size, then after a reboot to Windows PerfectDisk acts up very strange...

    When I then try to do a offline (or boot time) defrag on both disks for the OTHER DATA or personal data partition (partition number 3), then one of those partitions (mainly on primary slave) can not be verified according PerfectDisk during boot/offline defrag (error code 1392,2). chdsk /f /r is advised to run, but even running that program several consecutive times, does not solve that PerfectDisk mystery.

    This problem only comes up if I run the disks (i.e. my brother's 160 GB HDD as primary master or slave AND my 160GB HHD as primary slave or master) parallelly connected to IDE0 (is only option that will work for those big HDDs cos, IDE1 is not ATA100 or ATA133 connector port on my PC and om my bro's PC as well).

    And mostly of the time it does not occur if I run the disks as standalone as primary master on IDE0 after doing a partition copy with PM 8.05 from Disk 0 to Disk 1, meaning no other partition work is been done (deleting/creation/resizing/resizing clusters)

    But I have come accross a nice solution, mayB Uninstalling and reinstalling PerfectDisk (after a reboot, just to make sure) may work after doing my partition resize and stuff. I had come to that conclusion when I used partition copy/drive copy programs and booted windows on "new" disk and PerfectDisk gave me error could not load some dll files...

    Or not to have my older Maxtor 40GB next to it, but I will need it cos I have other plans for it in mind...

    I will be putting Ghost Images on that disk, as wel as my Internet downlads in form of torrents and stuff...

  8. titou2k, no problem bud - happy to test! ;)

    In fact, I'm seriously considering putting together some sort of nLite codecs package that consists of *just* the files required to play WMA/WMV, RealMedia and QT content in Firefox/MPC.

    I know there are several codec packages already out there, but I'm sure they are not as clean or compact as they could be, with regard to extraneous files and registry entries.

    Cheers,

    James

    That woulde an awesome idea, I will wait patiently to test it @ some point.
