Sysprep Question


Recommended Posts

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

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!
