Hi all

My autounattend.xml include this:

...
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <OOBE>
        <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
        <NetworkLocation>Other</NetworkLocation>
        <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC>
      </OOBE>
      <TimeZone>Central Europe Standard Time</TimeZone>
    </component>
...

but after Vista is installed create "first start wizard" this ...

why?... same problem with "chose user name", "type of protect", "timezone" etc. only table "computer name" working (be skipped)

If you search the UA Vista section you will find a reg tweak that you can combine in your xml ans file to suppress this network selection prob. This has been an inbuilt MS problem for @ least a year now that I recall. Still no official fix.

setting NetworkLocation to Home works fine for me. I have never seen that before.

Will try setting other locations.

@elajua

then tell us what your doing cause I've seen no way around except set public as described by MAVERICKS CHOICE

hmm i test "Other (Public)" and "Work"

... same problem both

Simply setting "Home","work" or "Public" in your xml will not overcome this. You need to use the reg tweak.
