Winnt.sif and other Options

[mdlister]

Hi Guys and Gals, new to all of this fantastic stuff and have been through the turtorials and looked through all the cool stuff you can do with unattended installs...

so far i have covered the basics with it now booting from cd and about 20 min later windows is there ready, not fussed about updates as i use wsus on my network but am just trying to figure a few things out between winnt.sif and unattend.txt etc

firstly i have a winnt.sif which does loads at the mo and works but would like to add some more but am not sure on the limitations of the code, i plan to add reg keys to get rid of the take a tour and some other "features" of windows but do i do it all from the winnt.sif or do i also have other files?

I have tired to get rid of the Links option in IE but cant seem to delete all the entries there and add my own, i have also tried to customise IE with the Provided by and things like that.

I know i can do alot at GPO level but if i was to fix a friends pc they would not be joined to the domain so was hopin to get them on the cd as well.

Any advice on this and other useful things to do i would be greatful!
