Cannot Skip User Creation in Autounattend.xml

**nokia999i** · October 24, 2008

I cannot seem to get my Autounattend.xml to skip user creation and to logon as administrator Automatically .. although all is good in the XML.

There it is :

Not a 100% certain here as you don't seem to show your entire xml. Pretty sure for this to work as stated you will need to include the user info as well in the OOBE pass, it has been documented on this board previously.

So Far I fixed it, added the user as you said .. Will report back

This is the auto logon portion from the xml file thats placed into the panther folder after windows installs so without a doubt this works:

- <AutoLogon>

<Username>Administrator</Username>

</AutoLogon>

Here's the fullversion:
