myselfidem Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) The first time I gave you your Autounattend.xml file working, the computer name was : <ComputerName>Win7_Vaio</ComputerName>! (post #126 updated with Team-ARC):http://www.msfn.org/...e/page__st__120Try to keep the same name!*Edit: remember you need to add for x86 and amd64.

nice_guy75 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks to both of you guys.@ myselfidem, did it ask for selecting network location when you tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myselfidem Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks to both of you guys.@ myselfidem, did it ask for selecting network location when you tried?No!

And did you use vmware or virtual box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myselfidem Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Yes, you are Administrator and your account name is Administrator!I use Oracle Sun VirtualBox.However I think it's better to create a user account inside Group: Administrators! Like this:<UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <PlainText>false</PlainText> <Value>xxxxx</Value> </Password> <Group>Administrators</Group> <DisplayName>myselfidem</DisplayName> <Name>myselfidem</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts>It's just an advice!

nice_guy75 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks for your suggestion, I would think over it. I was using vmware and if you are administrator in the host OS then you can't use Administrator's account in vmware otherwise you will end up with disabled Administrator's user account in vmware and in vmware you also have to select the network location manually.

myselfidem Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) I see that inside "Unattended Windows Setup Reference for Windows 7.chm" when a value is writed with an underscore we can't have a blank space:Examples: Computer_name ; Registered_organization_name ; Manufacturer_name ; etc..If we use a blank space some or all dialog boxes are displayed, even with an Autounattend.xml file complete!But if we want add a value with blank spaces we can use a reg file, example for OEM informations:OEM.regWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00;-------------------------------------------------------------------; - OEM Informations (Original Equipment Manufacturer) -;-------------------------------------------------------------------[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation]"Logo"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\oemlogo.bmp""Manufacturer"="Se7en Titan™""SupportURL"="http://people.consolidated.net/veeger""Model"="Windows Se7en Titan" Edited May 31, 2011 by myselfidem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myselfidem Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 There may be permission problems with what you are trying to add and remember you can't add user tweaks with this. You need to do those maybe at FirstlogoncommandsI see you posting about setacl in another post. Is that what you are tring to do?http://www.howtogeek...y-key?replies=8Many thanks for the useful and awesome tutorial about permissions maxXPsoft ! @coucou. Thank you for your search. I will add this infos inside a tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nice_guy75 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks mate, means we can use "underscores" in place of black spaces, later we can change the name with spaces using the registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myselfidem Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Thanks mate, means we can use "underscores" in place of black spaces, later we can change the name with spaces using the registry?Yes, that's it, and I do like the example given above!
