I've just completed my first unatted install, which seemed to work well, no prompts anymore, appears to install hotfixes, then applications, then performs cleanup restart.

Once I restart and logon, then got to check that the unattend configuration applied correctly, i see some anomolies :

* display not set to requested resolution

* components not configured as requested in winnt.sif ;

eg IIS components not installed

accessibility not removed

pinball etc not removed

Can anyone suggest how i should go about troubleshooting why this is so?

See below for my winnt.sif

Thanks

i dunno about the Components, but the video is most likely because your drivers aren't loaded at the point when Windows does it's first start (when you applications get installed).

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/downloads.htm

there is a app there for changing the resolution

@Alanoll,

i figure your right about that, i'll give it a shot.

Anybody able to review my winnt.sif for problems?

Why do my components not configure correctly?

Thanks all

The below is the order I am installing :

t-60 - 1.Winnt.sif - references GuiRunOnce : hotfixes.cmd (for non svcpack fixes)

t-13 - 2.svcpack.inf hotfixes are installed

t-12 - 3.commandlines.txt called and initiates RunOnceEx.cmd

t-0 - 4.reboot followed by GuiRunOnceEX which installs apps and calls:

prepare.cmd

cleanup.cmd

tweaks.reg

t-0 - 5.Calls GuiRunOnce which calls

hotfix.cmd
