  1. like this which is only way I have found to do it also http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST...t=0#entry573658 adding that <AdministratorPassword> don't work, oobe cleaned it up and disabled by the log. DisableAdministratorIfApplicable disabled the admin account.
  2. Well i'd imagine first thing someone will ask is how are you doing this? Then I'd say, Nope mine is where it belongs
  3. and how did you activate that Administrator account? The only way i can make the Administrator appear is with Autologon and BTW you don't even need a password on that. EDIT: Ok I see now they added something but does that activate that account? <UserAccounts> <AdministratorPassword> Time to test another
  4. That don't work adding the reg key You have to first Enable the Administrator account. The only way is here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=84696 If that work's for you then reply there.
  5. In OEMs probably system32 <Logo>c:\windows\System32\oemlogo.bmp</Logo>
  6. raffa I see now what you're trying to do is add the Administrator to show at the logon screen and this may do it but I haven't tried <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>regedit /s A:\UserList.reg</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> FULL path to this reg file wherever it is. You don't need \\ unless its on a Network share. If its on a drive somewhere or floppy then simply regedit /s A:\UserList.reg Create this as UserList.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList] "Administrator"=dword:00000001 It won't show first time you get there because of this. This will NOT create this account with this. It only shows it if it does exist.
  7. yes and others mentioned this OEMs can also be copied to root of a usb stick along with the xml file if you have the stick. I put my xml on a floppy and oems in sources and works everytime here.
  8. that really don't look like it will work Do you want the ADMIN account??? I'm not talking about the watered down ones. Look here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=84696
  9. $OEM$ and insert into sources folder it copies down right before running the oobe You don't need sim or waik to do this at all, just make it manually but make sure you have that UseConfigurationSet line in your xml
  10. If you use a FirstLogon.cmd along with creating a User in the Administrator Group I have found i can do pratically anything there without even disabling UAC so theres no need to disable it beforehand. One of the Reg Tweaks I run there is to disable UAC but it applies after I restart. I have even added the Tweaks to make UAC less annoying on restart. I'd say its the replacement for Runoncex Might Note if you stop it for any reason, you lose these permissions completely and it reverts back to annoying as all get out. You can take a look at my VistaUA in my sig below.
  11. With Vista you have Runonce BTW but name change, Its called Firstlogon and you can do pratically anything during that Firstlogon command with very little or no popups by the UAC if you know how.
  12. 12/8/2006 Business Desktop Deployment 2007 (BDD 2007) Release Candidate 1 3.0.128.0 now available on https://connect.microsoft.com/ 55.6mb here we'll see if any differences EDIT: It tells me I have to install MMC 3.0 before it will, junk as usual maybe later
  13. well i'm glad we got that starightened out since i been using those Synchronous and ASynchronous since I discovered runonce or ex is no more
  14. was clear to me EXCEPT we know its not allways 100% BTW you have to click on the 3rd InstallTo to get there, me I read them things extensiely lookin for other answers
  15. I see nowhere that runonce is used by Vista Windows XP Embedded Mobile and Embedded Development
  16. ahh ya cheatin `Felix` I used that till i learn to do it myself
  17. Or as a very simple note from the .chm InstallTo specifies the disk and partition where you want to install the Windows image. For unattended installations, you must specify either InstallTo or InstallToAvailablePartition.
  18. perhaps if you broke it up a little bcdedit /timeout 3 bcdedit /default {ntldr} <<XP works
  19. what I posted in your xml You'll need key and such, the normal things
  20. don't really need the WAIK for syntax, just open the file with IE and it will definitely tell you if there are error's, but of course it won't remove unneeded or tell you its a Default value and not needed. Sim won't tell you default either, rely on the unattend.chm cause its all we have right now urie and I have been working on this awhileI'm quoting unattend.chm and this does work here So going to my 2 partition for a dual boot with XP <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>2</PartitionID> </InstallTo> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> </OSImage> </ImageInstall>
  21. simplest answer is $OEM$ are not copied untill much later on than PE unless you use a synchronous command to do that and it getting done before the PE pass. Daedlus said part of the answer cause thats what i have been doing for quite awhile Its not allway's D: Btw, depends how many partitions you have where the Dvd will be. <Path>F:\sources\pnpDrivers\2</Path> you must give it exact location and work's like a charm
  22. you mean these http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm It doesn't miss them at all
  23. working on RTM even http://home3.ca.com/SubscriptCenter/MSTrialRegistration.aspx just sign up and download it. Some may remember this as Innoculate-It I've been using for about 5 years now and work's for me. Not a resource hog as other's
  24. worked on root of dvd here everytime I done it BUT I move it to a floppy/usb stick so I can edit on the fly, like testing something and you get them fully explaining dialog's(NOT) so i just pop in another PC, edit and retry. Don't have to reburn DVD cause I know all of that is working and my xml has a lot in it. I have crashed right where desktop loading begin's but just edited the xml and installed Some other Notes on $oem$ Only name it AutoUnattend.xml, NOT Unattend.xml. I have NOT tried it in sources $oem$ will work off sources no problem here, read the unattend.chm cause everything is no longer supported as in XP Don't expect Driver's to work from $oem$ copy because here as I've noticed by looking at the drive i'm installing to, $oem$ don't get copied till right after it does the update thing and right before doing the Performance check Driver's are working here but you have to point to them. Note: Driver's are done early on, PE is looking for them or right after if you are pointing otherwise an error.
  25. you're not checkin this in Sim are you? <component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer" don't belong in oobeSystem it goes in specialize least with latest Sim I have which is for RTM Now I don't know if it will work or not but just pointing that out.
