I don't want to use nLite, and if somebody could tell me how to use this script in unatternded setup.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default")

Set objItem = objWMIService.Get("SystemRestore")
errResults = objItem.Disable("")

Try a regtweak, we used to use the following before migrating to Local Group Policies. We apply retweaks using RunOnceEx:

[code][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sr]
"Start"=dword:00000004
"ImagePath"=hex(2):5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\
74,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,44,00,52,\
00,49,00,56,00,45,00,52,00,53,00,5c,00,73,00,72,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,\
00,00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sr\Parameters]
"FirstRun"=dword:00000001[/code]

You can disable it in the winnt.sif

By simply making an empty [SystemRestore] statement

[code][SystemRestore]

[GUIRunOnce]
command1 = "%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd"[/code]

You do NOT need the GUIRunOnce to disable System Restore (its just part of my example).

Thanks for the info, I will test this in our environment and report back. It just seems too easy to me to be true!
