have you tried something other than localhost?

have you tried those commands in a normal Windows environment?

put a PAUSE in between each line, and see if an error is returned.

ive kinda been waiting for input before i do anything else, but i guess ill be waiting, im going to test the deletion of drivers..

any idea's with adding users?

i dont think localhost would make a difference since i set localhost as all my logins with xp, since i can just $PROGS my server over and dump my webdir for a folder on the desktop and auto load sever settings n what not ... (once i get this working)

useraccounts.cmd

net user loacalhost /add

net localgroup Administrators localhost /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

REGEDIT /S autologon.reg

EXIT

You are creating a user called --> loacalhost

the user you want to create (i think) is --> localhost

You have an extra a in the net user command

also, you mention that it is still prompting you to input users on 1st bootup? make sure you have this under your [unattended] section in winnt.sif. This will keep the oobe from running which is repsonible for that portion of setup.

UnattendSwitch="Yes"

hmm... that could help. i think thats the error lol.. lemme test this now.. lol.. if it is .. im going to slap my self.

EDIT: il have to find out in the morning im getting tired and waiting for it to install, ill let everyone one know whats up

OFFTOPIC: i added a custom ntoskrnl.ex_ so the first boot wil show edited, looks great then fades to black then fades to boot screen with crappy colors.. after boot reverts to oemkrnl. havent tested oemkrnl if it does the same, but anyone have any idea's on the color change, i believe its all 16 bit color posted on the site thats being linked in here .. anyways ill be reading this in the morning

well i tried it, and well it hanged for about 20 mins so i hit the reset button , and then it loaded now this is what i get every time it tires to auto login

anyways im going to load it again.. and see if it hangs ..

EDIT: im putting a password in , since its autologin i dont have to type one in, so ill see how this works. and im just skiping the ntkrnl process and keeping with oemkrnl.

i dont think cmdlines.txt is working ;\

or something else is screwing up ;\

ok well , oddly i just have to get rid of that window, it now boots up as localhost, im guessing i have the ... welcome screen enabled.. which was never on... in the first place... bah lemme check.

[GuiUnattended]    AdminPassword=*    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO    OEMSkipRegional=1    TimeZone=020    OemSkipWelcome=1

off yes?

hi,

please give it a try without using "internal"-names for your user "localhost" maybe won't work because of this. Try something "normal" like ur nickname or such...

hope this helps a bit.

Go there and compare. Yes, I beleive it is off now, but dont take my word for it

Sighned ---> Newbie

well it added the user and set the auto login, im just guessing theres an enabled proccess that shouldnt be there.

checked the winnt.sif, on the link, it's about the same

mine

[unattended]    UnattendMode=FullUnattended    OemSkipEula=Yes    OemPreinstall=Yes    UnattendSwitch=Yes    TargetPath=\WINDOWS    Repartition=No

[unattended]UnattendMode=FullUnattendedOemSkipEula=YesOemPreinstall=YesTargetPath=\WINDOWSFileSystem=*UnattendSwitch="yes"WaitForReboot="No"DriverSigningPolicy=IgnoreOemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_intel_INF;Drivers\001_gigabit_LAN;Drivers\002_monitor"KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"

does the "'s matter on unattended switch? that might be a reason...

Put these in there.

UnattendSwitch="yes"WaitForReboot="No"

Yes, i think, i did it as stated and it works fine

ill find out in ... an hour or so lol.

i guess that was it :B lol. thanks for the help guys.
