Cmdlines.txt

[Natio]

Greetings, i am Natio.

I have a single question for you guys.

i am using Cmdlines.txt for my applications that i want installed in an unattended windows XP version.

Now i reached the user adding section in the fine guide by Alanoll.

It tells me to add another line to Cmdlines.txt, however i dont know which one to put first :/

My Cmdlines.txt looks like this:

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

Can you guys help me here?

Thanks very much in advance

-Nate.

You put cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd in a folder on your CD named $OEM$

WPI can also install apps during 1st login, it also uses cmdlines.txt

Yes i know, but the info the guide wants me to add to the cmdlines.txt is:

"useraccounts.cmd"

and i dont know which one to put first

[ricktendo]

You can add multipple commands to cmdlines.txt

And I don't think the order will matter much

It dosen't matter, so just place it wherever you wan't.

It only matters if the batchfiles depends upon eachother, like e.g. if one sets up a user and the other edits something about that user account(ok, a little bad example, but just to show a scenario), then of course the one which sets up the user needs to come first, but in this case it's irrelavant...

Okay, thanks for the advice, i will try

But what would be most logical to do for the computer first: make users OR Install programs from RunOnceEx ?

[ricktendo]

I suspect all RunOnceEx.cmd will do is add a reg entrie... It wont actually do anything

BTW cmdlines.txt will get executed when there are 13 mins left in your install, it will make your user account (useraccounts.cmd) and add a reg entrie to run your silent installs on 1st login (RunOnceEx.cmd)

As i said, then it dosen't really matter what you place first, but i would personally incorporate both the user-accounts batchfile + the RunOnceEx batchfile into one single batchfile.

I would then just add something like this to the beginning of my RunOnceEx.cmd file :

net user "Martin Hertz" xxxxx /add
net localgroup Administrators "Martin Hertz" /add
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
set key="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
reg add %key% /v DefaultUserName /d "Martin Hertz" /f
reg add %key% /v DefaultPassword /d xxxxx /f
reg add %key% /v AutoAdminLogon /d 1 /f
