Yzowl, This is great! I read through the script and there is one thing I just dont understand CALL SET V=%%PASS:~0,%CNT2%%% It seems like this part of the code counts how many characters are in %pass%. Am I correct? But I am really unsure how it does this. ECHO/ NOTE&ECHO/ ¯¯¯¯&ECHO/&ECHO/ The First User added will be set as your Default User&ECHO/&ECHO/ It will have Administrator Account privileges&ECHO/ Also, I noticed you wrote a lot of @echo/ ... is the / some kind of carriage return? And how do you get the upper ____ to make >>> characters? When I type that or paste it into my cmd window I get an underline. Lastly, maybe I misunderstand the default user part. When I run this script on my computer to test it out, it changes my settings so that "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" is unchecked. Thats not what I want to do. I want each user to be required to login under their own name. I am using win2k right now so this may work out different on XP I am unsure. Thanks for all your help. Regan

I do not want to add users via NET USER or OOBEINFO.INI methods. I want to add them later via a batch file. I am getting really frustrated. I have been working on this batch file for hours and I can't seem to make it right. It seems like everything I do creates another error. I am going in circles. grrrr @Echo Off Echo.

Yeah I understand what you did, but I still dont know if using .reg files instead of each individual key. I have probably a thousand keys to add I am trying to save a lot of typing (Or at the very least cutting and pasting) time.

Yes I have

I was wondering how do I add registry tweaks in a win2k unattended install. I tried putting "Regedit /s regtweaks.reg" in my cmdlines.txt file and that doesnt work. Can I call up another .cmd file and put something like this in it? cmdow @ /HID @Echo Off SET PATH=%SystemDrive%\reg.exe %Path% ADD regtweaks.reg /s /f EXIT Or do I need to call regedit.exe? I have a bunch of files I want to add. Thanks in advance

How is this a regedit problem?

Oh, I should also state that I dont get any errors, and with the cleanup.cmd removed, I don't even get the files copied to the disk.

Hi all, I am hoping someone could help me. I am attempting to make a win2k unattended cd with applications and I cant seem to get it to work. I followed through the tutorial and I can get my winnt.sif file to work. Although I have a few minor problems. (areacode=602) doesnt work.
