Yes, it is the same name. It is actually the administrator account that is used. What I meant by "the account I always use" is, when I get the error "The user you have specified is not permitted to join the machine to the domain. Would you like to proceed for now and try joining the domain later?" is where I've used the same user account and password. Example... My "RIS blue screen" is where I use the administrator account and password, when I get the above error I choose no. Then it prompts me to enter a user and password. So I enter the administrator and the password I used in the "RIS blue screens" and it works. So why do I need to enter that information twice, when I already used it in the "RIS blue screens"? Did I explain that right? :-) Thats got to be the issue then. I've looked and can not find any info on how to correct this. Any help would be great! A local administrator account needs to be created on these systems anyway, so is there a way to specify a local administrator account on these systems as well as have the domain option so when it logs in for the first time it does so using the local account but still has the proper FQDN? Thanks for your input bluescreens! -infoteklink

Thanks for your reply hosebeast. I did what you suggested but it still gives me the same problem. here is my updated .sif file that I modified with hosebeasts suggestion.

-bump- Anyone have any ideas?

Small problem. RIS server is win2k3. I'm trying to get a new XP profile to install and join to a domain automatically. I've searched the forums and on google. I've tried several suggestions, but none have worked. Here is the error I receive. Network Configuration The user you have specified is not permitted to join the machine to the domain. Would you like to proceed for now and try joining the domain later? If I choose no and enter the same username and password I always use then it joins the domain and all is good until it tries to AutoLogon for the first time. At that point I get another error. Logon Message Your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator The reason it is saying that is because in the "Log on to:" field the computer name is there instead of the domain and the username account I'm trying to login with is not on the local pc, but on the domain. If I select the domain and login with the user name and password I always use, it works fine. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

HAH!! You guys are the doo doo! I did have the lines seperate. I put them on the same line and now it works perfect. Here is my reg_add.bat file now. regedit /s \\risserver\e$\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\win2ksp4\i386\$oem$\sourcepath.reg I initially left the "start" in to see if it mattered or not. It didn't matter if it was there or not, so I just took it out. No need to have more crap in the code than needs to be. Thanks again RogueSpear and oioldman!!

I'm still having a small problem. First I'll post all my processes then give a pic of what I still can not accomplish. My .sif [GuiRunOnce] Command1 = "\\risserver\e$\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\win2ksp4\i386\$oem$\$1\w2k-isg-addon\install.bat" Install.bat to copy i386 files to local c drive and start the .reg process (.reg process is still the problem) xcopy "\\risserver\e$\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\win2ksp4\i386\$oem$\$1\w2k-isg-addon\i386\*.*" "c:\i386\*.*" /s /y call "\\risserver\e$\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\win2ksp4\i386\$oem$\reg_add.bat" reg_add.bat start regedit /s \\risserver\e$\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\win2ksp4\i386\$oem$\sourcepath.reg sourcepath.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup] "SourcePath"="c:\\" Everything seems to work good except I still have to click to accept the setting for the reg entry. Here and here How can I automate that?

Ok, it still is not working. I'm going to post all the files I use for this process and their paths: \RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\win2ksp4\i386\templates\ristndrd.sif [data] floppyless = "1" msdosinitiated = "1" OriSrc = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%" OriTyp = "4" LocalSourceOnCD = 1 [SetupData] OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice = "\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" [Unattended] OemPreinstall = Yes NoWaitAfterTextMode = 0 FileSystem = LeaveAlone ExtendOEMPartition = 0 ConfirmHardware = no NtUpgrade = no Win31Upgrade = no TargetPath = \WINNT OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = no OemSkipEula = yes InstallFilesPath = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%" [UserData] FullName = "aaa" OrgName = "aaa" ComputerName = * ProductID = "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" [GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome = 1 OemSkipRegional = 1 TimeZone = 35 AdminPassword = "*************" AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 [LicenseFilePrintData] AutoMode = PerSeat [Display] ConfigureAtLogon = 0 BitsPerPel = 32 XResolution = 1024 YResolution = 768 VRefresh = 60 AutoConfirm = 1 [Networking] ProcessPageSections=Yes [GuiRunOnce] Command1 = "\\risserver\e$\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\win2ksp4\i386\$oem$\$1\w2k-isg-addon\install.bat" [Identification] JoinWorkgroup = workgroup [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] ; transport: TC (TCP/IP Protocol) InfID=MS_TCPIP DHCP=Yes [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [params.MS_MSClient] InfID=MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_Server=params.MS_Server [params.MS_Server] ; service: SRV (Server) InfID=MS_Server BroadcastsToLanman2Clients = No [ServicesSection] [RemoteInstall] Repartition = Yes UseWholeDisk = Yes [OSChooser] Description ="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4" Help ="Automatically installs Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional without prompting the user for input."

So the \\ seems to be correct. Anyone know what else I'm overlooking? I have a feeling it is sitting right under my nose, I'm just not seeing it.

I'm an id***. I think I figured out the problem. I'll post back the results. In my ristndrd.sif I had: [Unattended] OemPreinstall = No I changes it to: [Unattended] OemPreinstall = Yes

Nope, it still does not work. I exported the file again and this is what I see. Note the double slashes. BTW, This image is of win2ksp4. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup] "SourcePath"="c:\\" Thanks!

hmmm, interesting.... I exported that key and it gave me the \\'s. I'll give it a try and report back. Thanks!

I have RIS on a 2k3 server. RIS works great for what I need except for one thing and its getting the best of me. I need to have RIS automatically copy the i386 files to the c:\ drive. That part I was able to figure out. What I need to do now is change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath to c:\ instead of it pointing to the RIS server. So I made a .reg file and called it sourcepath.reg. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup] "SourcePath"="c:\\" I put sourcepath.reg in the $oem$ folder and made a file called cmdlines.txt in the $oem$ folder. Here is the cmdlines.txt file. [Commands] "regedit /s sourcepath.reg" What am I doing wrong? I've been working on this for two days. I found most of my RIS help just by reading these forums. The post I found on my current issue at hand is here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=57218&st=15 I have read many other posts and tried other suggestions. This method seems like the easiest and most logical solution. I do not need anything fancy. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks Guys!
