Hi, im setting up a ris server for my company to install customer pc's. Everything is working fine so far, only have to complete the batch scripts to install the apps. There is one thing though that i cant seem to solve... the windows welcome screen When i installed windows on a pc by using ris it still displays the welcome screen even after lots of failed attemps to remove it. After studying the ref.chm i changed 'OEMSkipWelcome' to '1' and 'OEMPreinstall' to 'Yes'. This however did not work as it should according microsoft. So i started to search on google and came across this forum. I searched for posts describing the same problem and found 2 solutions that worked for others... but ofcourse not for me First was 'UnattendSwitch'. So i tried it but i almost pulled my hair out when i saw, after re-installing, the screen again. Not intending to give up so easily i searched the forum again and found a reg key that time: Convinced i found the right solution this time i put it in a batch script that was run by the cmdlines.txt. And once again the screen returned Now, im not sure if it actually added the reg key before the welcome screen... is it even possible? and if so, how can i check if it did :/
