Unattended User Settings

[daredevil1]

Can someone please give a detailed explaination of the unattended user settings? Searched but couldn't find anything. If I delete New User will it automatically logon as the Admin when starting Windows? Why does it ask for full name if you already put the owners name under the Owner and Network ID tab? When you create a user account in Windows it doesn't ask for your full name so I don't get what this setting is for.

If you have a single user system and just wants the built-in administrator account as your only account(i'm like that, as i would rather just image my system back fresh if anything should go wrong, instead of trying to fix it), then you can just skip OOBE by adding the following to winnt.sif:

[Unattended]
UnattendSwitch="yes"

Then to have the built-in administrator account set to autologon always, then also add:

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=something
AutoLogon=Yes

I don't remember with XP, but with Win2k, then you need to define a password, as else autologon only works 1 time...

When you make a user-account in Windows, then the name you enter is used as both 'Name' and 'Full Name', and if you use 'Net user' to add a user, then it's just the 'Name' that's filled...

The following dosen't have anything to do with user-account names, and is just used under 'System' properties:

[UserData]
FullName="something"
