How to use nLite unattended without automatic account creation?

[adiadasman]

I work for a computer repair shop, and I am trying to use nLite to make a customized XP Home CD. The problem that I am having is that if I use any of the unattended settings, nLite automatically creates a user account called "new user". If I deleted this user and try to proceed, nLite give me the following error: "In Windows Xp Home there is a limitation that you cannot logon as a built-in Administrator so please add at least one Administrator user." The problem is that I need to be able to enter the customer's name, so I would rather create the account during OOBE. I have double checked and I do not have the "skip OOBE" option checked. Is there any way around this? It is a pain to have to go in and deleted the account and make one under the customer's name. TIA guys!

nLite is free for personal use only, you cannot use it for any company or business purposes at this time.

Oh, ok. I guess I need to read the EULA closer, seeing as the nLite website does not say this. Any way to do this manually? All I am trying to set under the unattended is the timezone, automatic update settings, and disabling hibernation.

adiadasman, there is an Unattended sub forum here that can be of help to you. In the Support\Tools folder of an XP install CD is Deploy.CAB. Extract this file (I use 7-Zip) and look at the two help files ref.chm and deploy.chm. They describe how to do many of the things you need. Hope this helps, John.
