I want my WinNt.SIF to do just a few things. It only contains the following:

[Data]
	AutoPartition=0
	MsDosInitiated=0
	UnattendedInstall=Yes
[Unattended]
	UnattendSwitch=Yes
	OEMSkipEULA=Yes
[UserData]
	ProductID=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

This does the following: skip the Welcome page, Regional Settings, Network Settings and the Windows Welcome (OOBE). So what i DO get is the name/organization screen, computer name and admin password, TimeZone, Domain/Workgroup.

I must say that I don't really know why all the other screens get skipped. I don't supply info for any of the screens after all, so why do they get skipped?

However, there is one screen that I would like to have during setup. That's the Regional Settings screen. I've tried adding

[GuiUnattended]
	OEMSkipRegional=0

but when I do, the Welcome Page suddenly re-appears.

Solved!

For some reason, when no [GUIUnattended] section is present, the Welcome screen gets suppressed. But when you do add [GUIUnattended], you must specify OEMSkipWelcome=1 to achieve the same result. So, the complete WinNt.SIF becomes

[Data]
	AutoPartition=0
	MsDosInitiated=0
	UnattendedInstall=Yes

[Unattended]
	UnattendSwitch=Yes
	OEMSkipEULA=Yes
	OEMPreinstall=Yes

[UserData]
	ProductID=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

[GuiUnattended]
	OEMSkipRegional=0
	OEMSkipWelcome=1
