<<<---MAK PRODUCT KEY GOES HERE! i always have it in both them places but in first it didn't work so removed and resorted to just the Run cmds MS and their BS they don't even know how works, rely on users to figure it out in their technet forums

name this AutoUnattend.xml and make sure you edit with Notepad you can look at the sample, a lot of stuff you won't have to type you need more than that like beginning of file and ending, forget some don't mess with xml Added generalize also to make the drivers persistent <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="offlineServicing"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" 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"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="1"> <Path>%systemdrive%\Drivers</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> <settings pass="generalize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpSysprep" 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"> <PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls> </component> </settings> </unattend>

I found also you can't put in the xml so do this after setup or even during setupcomplete.cmd START /WAIT /B cscript //nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx >nul EDIT: You can call that during oobesystem from a <FirstLogonCommands> cmds since you are using an xml

myselfidem has done all those with French version. myselfidem French pdf and dll's The Dll's are language specific so do not use any other language dll.

just remove everything you don't want except DriverPaths and the <settings pass="offlineServicing">pass, you can remove all other '<settings pass=', drop xml on root of dvd and Win setup will place Driver folder on root of drive and the xml part points Win where to find. Thats easiest way disregard I see you using a Tool

Included in Tools folder is the InstallTakeOwnership.reg using Well known Sid *S-1-5-32-544 If that don't work change /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F to /grant administrators:F where administrators is in your language. I had 1 problem unexplained here on 64 bit where the Well known Sid did not work Download as always in my Sig below 'Se7en_UA.exe 6.2.2: April 04, 2010, 4:06:18 AM ' Someone said this don't work with Enterprise. How does it not work? I just done a VM and all is fine. ' Problem with permission on XP. You need cacls.exe minimum ' Fix handling kb890830 setupcomplete ' Fix Dvd copy for long paths ' Fix Time duration at Pack ' Compressing to make smaller install.

http://www.msfn.org/board/include-drivers-t143008-pid-916386.html/page__view__findpost__p__916386 you can place all them in one folder. 7 will not install all of them, only the ones it needs and if it thinks the ones it has is better it uses that

You can copy all .inf based drivers say to sub folders on your dvd sources DVD\sources\$OEM$\$1\Drivers create folders in red Then add the path in your xml. Look at <Driverpaths> http://www.msfn.org/board/your-seven-here-t139572-pid-892782.html/page__view__findpost__p__892782

Partially here, I set this for one user but you should be able to figure it out or ask and I'll show you I basically copy my Start menu pinned items to a folder and export the reg and then after setupcomplete.cmd as it begins to load GUI I run a cmd file from xml in oobe REM THINGS THAT WILL RUN RIGHT BEFORE THE DESKTOP GUI LOADS REM Start Menu Pinned CMD /C attrib -H "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned" CMD /C MD "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu" timeout /t 1 CMD /C copy "%systemdrive%\Install\Start\*.*" "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu" /Y timeout /t 1 CMD /C attrib +H "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned" REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\StartPage2.reg I get this each time

should be able to put xml on any drive root cause Win will find it, floppy/usb or root of source = not sources

Ok thanks have them saved. Have been busy on a 20 mil project and other things at work. Have a minor update soon with long weekend.

might try using the <PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls> during Generalize to make it keep the Plug and Play devices

I use till my applications are installed usually in Audit and then turn back on at work. At home remains off

Did you even read my first post? No you didn't cause you started talking about using Dism like i'm new to that, its in the first post where i tried all that. How any times must I say I tried the Takeown with S-1-5-32-544 and it failed. there last time, use what you want, I know to keep this in my arsenal.

I'm not saying it's language. I said I tried with the takeownership that had the *S-1-5-32-544:F and I never see anything. Using the Geek version I see a Dos box fly by real quick and then I was able to delete. And yes I have UAC off We all know how screwy permissions is with Vista and later.

might try Bing search, returned a lot on that smwdmif.dll. basically use different version

Microsoft-Windows-LUA-Settings is listed in Unattend.chm. The only setting I use in offlineServicing @henrique araujo Move the rest <settings pass="offlineServicing"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-LUA-Settings" 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"> <EnableLUA>false</EnableLUA> </component> </settings>

nothing worked, I am well versed on dism and icacls. Perhaps this is 64 bit related. How to Geek stuff worked. I'm sticking with that cause the other did not. My stuff is English so /grant administrators:F works. I can see it working in the dos window, the other I never saw anything

I've had that /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F TakeOwnership method here for quite awhile and assumed it worked although had never put it to test. Was mounting an image and power went out so I ended up with corrupt Mount dir. Done all the Imagex and dism cmds to no avail Tried the TakeOwnership method with /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F and then tried every combination of icacls/cacls I could think of. Even booted into Safe mode with Administrator and he could not remove. Started searching and found on Technet where someone used the original TakeOwnership from How To Geek and it worked. That is where you use /grant administrators:F Installed it and instantly deleted the corrupt Mount Dir NOTICE: You will need to edit these files and replace administrators word for your language add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista live and learn

powder puff is only what I called the default MS image. the light blue with flowers

root of sources folder is a file ei.cfg. Delete then you can install any image from the wim

changed to your new one and d/l looks ok

your not integrating applications, your using auditUser and with pre-packaged apps usually done by others with their settings Thats certainly 1 way to do it.
