lubinski Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I have looked through the various posts here and tried numerous things to get my generic unattended.xml working. The problem:It prompts me to create a user, name the computer, timezone, and protect my pc. Everything else works fine.What am I doing wrong?I do have it creating a local account in the OOBE configuration pass from the windows shell setup_neutral component. It also sets the administrator password.What am I missing? Help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubinski Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Most likely its an OEM version. This is for testing purposes to help me with an exam. Is there a way to tell? The iso name is Vista_32_ultimate. Edited February 12, 2008 by lubinski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubinski Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Let me try. Could you explain this to me? In the AIK the new distribution share is selected in the upper left window. Will that change , the removing of the oem folder, change the unattended? Or will I have to remove the oem folder from the disk image?

lubinski Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Check out this technet link here1. The settings above outline a basic unattended installation; no user input is required during Windows Setup. When the installation is complete, the computer will reboot to audit mode. Windows Welcome does not run in audit mode2. Microsoft-Windows-Deployment\ResealForceShutdownNow = falseMode = AuditAny comments on whats there? I might give it a try but It would bypass the whole oobe and wouldnt be able to create users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
