    RT Seven Lite - RC build 1.7.0 and Beta build 2.6.0

    in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

    Posted · Edited by atolica

    bensam

    I am about to finish installing win7 with sp1 integrated with you rt7lite, but I can't login. I checked the skip boxes at the very end of the rt7lite creation process, but I didn't see any user creation option, only just for full name and organization. As I checked those "skip boxes", I am not asked now to create a new user. I don't even know if there was a user created or just the Administrator account. I didn't check the Autounattend.xml file.

    Let me know !

    Read thoroughly the first post, my post. Everything is explained there. Just rename the wim files.

    copy the boot.wim file in sources folder of active boot disk/ ghost pe/ erdcommander 6.0 to the sources folder in disk1 in the project. and rename it to desired. I renamed it to boot32.wim you may use any...

    boot32, erdcom.wim, etc

    Or just Workfolder\DVD\boot\7boot.wim & vboot.wim and the rest?

    The wim files are to be copied in the sources folder. You Don't touch boot.wim! Only the "bcd store" is altered together with the wim files in the 'SOURCES' folder from the dvd root.

    Read the 1st post!

    There are some configurations, mainly sata/ide controllers that aren't properly detected.

    If you get the cd/dvd error, unplug all the other harddrives and optical and leave just the harddisk you're installing to and the dvd drive you're installing from. Ususally that does it. If you're still getting that error, install windows 7 from an usb flash drive.

    A good tool to create a bootable windows 7/xp/vista usb is Novicorp WinToFlash

    you are missing some updates, this is what you should have to be up to date: (some are maybe superseded)

    You could find my french .net addons made with snmsynth here: http://www.forum-unattend.fr/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=15

    A lot of them are superseded. Like 10 of them. I'd like to build this with the minimum required files.

    Thanks anyway.

    No errors were generated ,so the addon was built correctly, but for some reason it still shows up in windows update.

    Windows XP Home and Administrator account

    in nLite

    Posted · Edited by atolica

    So one more question...

    -when you disable Administrator, the system creates Propriétaire for you to log on.

    -when you rename Administrator in Propriétaire and disable it, does any other account get created ? What account starts the 1st session ? Do you now run OOBE ?

    In nlite unattended section there are the 2 default windows accounts. Administrator and Guest. I've renamed Administrator to Propriétaire hence Administrator IS(=) the Propriétaire account . The first logon is done by the user (Dorin) I've created alongside those default 2 accounts, with the autologon option enabled in nlite.

    See here

    The last pic shows what users are active after logging off. The Propriétaire, (the English Administrator acc) is not active as I intended, see the 1st pic!. Do you want a capture from safe mode to see the Propriétaire account? I can do that. Are you convinced?

    "Propriétaire" is the "Administrator" account, renaming and disabling it in nlite's unattended section gets rid of it and only makes it accessible from safe mode as is should.

    I was right.

    Don't know what you've done for tests, but "Administrator" and "Owner/(Propriétaire)" are 2 separate accounts, that's why they have different names :rolleyes: . The 1nd one is built in, the 2nd is created at end of install because you disabled the 1st one and XP needs an account for you to be able to start a 1st session. I was just trying to help but it seems you don't need anyone. :hello:

    When I'm telling you that renaming the Administrator account into Propriétaire in nlite's unattended section and disabling it, removes Propriétaire account(no Administrator account active then though) from the logon screen and makes the Propriétaire account accessible only from safe mode. If I don't rename it, the Propriétaire is visible in the logon welcome screen and also the Administrator account gets created.

    I guess it does what I want.

    Thanks for your help.

    Greets,

    I know "Propriétaire" means owner, but creating an additional account?? This is not the case for XP English, is it?

    All I want is for "Propriétaire" and/or "Administrateur" not to show up at logon, preferably disabled.

    I think that "Propriétaire" is the "Administrateur" account, but I have to test this.

    edit:

    I've tested it. "Propriétaire" is the "Administrator" account, renaming and disabling it in nlite's unattended section gets rid of it and only makes it accessible from safe mode as is should.

    I was right.

    Hello Atolica. Glad you edited your other thread. :angel

    I'd be surprised MS docs says anything about disabling the administrator's account. There has to be an account to login at first, if not autologing. It is not very clear what you've done (added an other one ?). Anyway, you can check the last lines of your last_session_u.ini to see all accounts (inbuilt and added if any).

    1st Yes/No is active/inactive

    next Yes/No(s) are

    - Blank password

    - Must have

    - Can change,

    as displaye on the nLite Unattended screen.

    (+ You're not supposed to nLite (=break) your friend's XP).

    I'm using nlite for ages, but after I switched to Win 7, I didn't have much use of it or XP. I'm just doing a favor for a friend of mine. The problem here is that his Windows XP is in French, the Administrator account is named Propriétaire, so it took some time to see that and rename the name accordingly in nlite's unnateded section.

    I'm not breaking his XP, I'm a long time nlite user so I guess I know what I'm doing.

    As for the other thread:

    I've edited the post because he didn't have time to read it (or I think he didn't) and I was a little bit out of line.

    I'm building an Windows XP+SP3 for a friend and I've noticed the Administrator account is still active(or it gets activated) after using nlite, though I disabled it in the Unattended section in nlite.

    Should I delete

    EncryptedAdminPassword="No"

    AutoLogon="Yes"

    from winnt.sif? Will that make a difference? Is it Autologon=YES needed for other users or only for the Administrator account(MS docs say it is not).

    The ini file is misleading

    The description of the ini file says:

    DNF20OFFICE2K3DEBUGGER setting allow removing outdated office2K3 (office11) crash reporting utilities (debugger)

    So if I want that and the .NET Assistant Firefox add-on REMOVED my *.ini should have these two settings as

    DNF20OFFICE2K3DEBUGGER=NO

    DNF35FFCLICKONCEEXT=NO

    Right? Or it's vice-versa?!

    Windows XP HP Recovery Discs

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by atolica

    So did you format the entire hard drive or just the OS volume? If you formatted the entire hard drive (thus recovery partition goes bye bye) then the recovery CDs aren't likely to work IF they are based on the same software as the partition. They aren't typical install CDs. Did you create these recovery discs with the Media Creator?

    I know they aren't typical install cds, but shouldn't be some refference of the pk on one of those two discs? Or on th hp_recovery partition??!?

    The stored factory image isn't an install. It is image based recovery similar to Vista and Windows 7 RE.

    Did I say that the factory image is an install?!?!? Where did I say that?!? HP recovery partition it is not similar to Vista/Win 7 PE nor based on windows xp's WinPE, it is HP's own proprietary recovery system.

    Windows XP HP Recovery Discs

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Ok here's the deal. I do not know how the older pack-in Recovery disks work. That is, you just got them with the computer. If these discs were created by the user, they are going to work similar to what goes on in this thread:

    So that is why I asked about formatting the hard drive. If these are the created media, they read info from the MBR to verify that they are allowed to install the OS there. If the info it is looking for is missing or wrong, the CD will not install.

    I know all about SLP tables. I obtained the oembios hp files, replaced them and some other files and got a HP OEM:SLP preactivated cd with the original genuine hp oem key.
