mbouchard Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Just recently I started working on a Vista build for work and am having a little trouble getting the initial boot after a sysprep to be automated. Basically I am getting prompted to create a user and I am not sure what I am missing. I have tried several things including setting SkipMachineOOBE (found that this didn't apply any of the OOBE stuff) and creating a user in my unattend file. I have tried to use the sticky guide and follow things found here with no luck. Here is my unattend file<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="generalize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SkipRearm>1</SkipRearm> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Credentials> <Domain>MYDOMAIN</Domain> <Password>MYPASSWORD</Password> <Username>MYUSERNAME</Username> </Credentials> <Path>net user administrator /active:yes</Path> <Order>1</Order> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Display> <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth> <DPI>96</DPI> <HorizontalResolution>1024</HorizontalResolution> <VerticalResolution>768</VerticalResolution> </Display> <ProductKey>MYPRODUCTKEY</ProductKey> <ShowWindowsLive>false</ShowWindowsLive> <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone> <ComputerName>REPLACEME</ComputerName> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Identification> <Credentials> <Domain>MYDOMAIN</Domain> <Password>MYPASSWORD</Password> <Username>MYUSERNAME</Username> </Credentials> <JoinDomain>MYDOMAIN</JoinDomain> </Identification> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <InputLocale>en-us</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-us</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-us</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-us</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <AutoLogon> <Password> <Value>bQBpAGMAcgBBvAHMAbwBmSAHQAUABSB3AG8AcgBkAA==</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </Password> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>2</LogonCount> <Username>administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <UserAccounts> <AdministratorPassword> <Value>bQBpAGMAcgBBvAHMAbwBmSAHQAUABSB3AG8AcgBkAA</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </AdministratorPassword> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value>bQBpAGMAcgBBvAHMAbwBmSAHQAUABSB3AG8AcgBkAA==</Value> <PlainText>false</PlainText> </Password> <Name>testuser</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> <RegisteredOrganization>MYORG</RegisteredOrganization> <RegisteredOwner>MYOWNER</RegisteredOwner> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>net user testuser /delete</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> <Themes> <CustomDefaultThemeFile>c:\windows\aero.theme</CustomDefaultThemeFile> </Themes> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/vistainstall/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista ENTERPRISE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /></unattend> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG101 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Have you figured this out yet? I am having the same issue at work. It would be nice to get rid of the Add User prompt, I read in a few places that if you supress that, it will also supress the PC name prompt. (I read that someone created a vbs script to fix that though).This is where I am stuck now, if I could supress the "Add User" prompt I would be on easy street!
