Unattended XP Install


Recommended Posts

OK, So I've got my unattanded XP install on the network. All I do is pop in a WinPE boot disk and away it goes. I come back in about 20 minutes and the PC is waiting at a login screen. Which then I login as domain admin, add necessary users and groups to the local groups. I then login with my "deployment" domain account and run a script that installed apps and configures the profile so I can replace the default user profile with this one.

I would love to automate the addition of the domain users and groups, login with the deployment account and star the script automatically.

I know how to setup the auto login and the running of the script, but how do I need to edit the WINNT.SIF to add the users and groups?

Hi there,

you can set the autologin (as you said) ant then run a script like this one here:

NET LOCALGROUP %YOURGROUPNAME% /ADD %YOURUSERNAME%
NET LOCALGROUP %YOURGROUPNAME% /ADD %YOURUSERNAME%

Just test it a bit and customize it to your needs.
