Hello Angel,

First of all, the part of your SideBar , you have:

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault>
<SidebarVisible>false</SidebarVisible>
<Gadget1>%PROGRAMFILES%\windows sidebar\gadgets\Clock.Gadget,true</Gadget1>
<Gadget3 />
<Gadget2 />
</component>

If you dont want to show it at startup after installation try this code:

 <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral"
				 versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86">
		 <SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault>
	  </component>

The part of your network name, try else the part of what i have, maybe this works fine for you:

<settings pass="oobeSystem">
	<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

May be the problem with user name. Try an unattended.xml created by vlite and edit this answer file further with waik.
