islander_810 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) I followed Firegeier's guide to making the AutoUnattend.xmlI'm unable to automate the Local Account creation process. Everytime during installation it asks for UserName and Pass and Update Settings. Rest all are automated except these. <UserAccounts><LocalAccounts><LocalAccount wcm:action="add"><Group>Administrators</Group><Name>KS</Name><DisplayName>KS</DisplayName></LocalAccount></LocalAccounts></UserAccounts><ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC>Autounattend__10_18_30_4_08_.xml Edited April 30, 2008 by islander_810 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baywatch Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) you must set the password<LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value>{LocalAdminPassword}</Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </Password> <Description>local Admin-Account</Description> <DisplayName>lAdmin</DisplayName> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Name>lAdmin</Name></LocalAccount> Edited April 29, 2008 by baywatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islander_810 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) So, do you mean to say that description and password is mandatory? Tried it, didn't work.This is the code I used<UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value>Password</Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </Password> <Description>The Compulsive Tweaker</Description> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Name>KS</Name> <DisplayName>KS</DisplayName> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts></UserAccounts>In fact, this part of the code isn't executed at all. Can't understand why. OOBE always pops up for account creation and Automatic Update Settings. Rest all are automated Edited April 30, 2008 by islander_810 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to enable it, you must use username Administrator. You should have a password for Administrator, don't know if that one is mandatory. As for the rest, they are optional.
