SP2: I don´t won´t Help Protect Your PC page

[webwilli]

1. How can i disable it?

i have make an entry @ winnt.sif:

[Data]

AutomaticUpdates=Yes

but i the Page will display.

2. From the Reference manual:

"Value: Yes

Enables Automatic Updates. The Help Protect Your PC page does not display. Windows routinely verifies the latest important updates and installs them automatically.

"

will it mean that windows automatic do online updates??

3. How can i use an Oobeinfo.ini File?

;Disable Security Center

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc]

3. How can i use an Oobeinfo.ini File?

oobeinfo.ini usage

Try the below, I have altogether disabled displaying the first-time boot screens (OOBE) with these in winnt.sif:

[Data]
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"
    AutomaticUpdates=1

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    UnattendSwitch=Yes

I have shown here only the relevant values, you'll have to use the other values you normally do.

[webwilli]

ok,next try.

are the " necessary ?

[prathapml]

are the " necessary ?

Maybe, maybe not - but since the template for that setting in ref.chm contains the quotes, I do too.

A little unquestioning maybe, but I am seeing it function fine that way, and I don't have the time to experiment with such a trivial thing - but otherwise I'm a "have-questions-to-the-core" sort of geek who needs to understand what exactly something does before using it.

it doesnt display for me with the following values in winnt.sif

[Data]
    AutoPartition=0
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=DefaultHide
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    UnattendSwitch="Yes"

but i have the problem that at the beginning of the GUI driven setup (T39) the first dialogue comes up where i have to press ok. this never happened before, although i always used "UnattendMode=DefaultHide".

anyone an idea on that?

at the beginning of the GUI driven setup (T39) the first dialogue comes up where i have to press ok.

Has this started happening since you slip-streamed SP2 final?

In any case, I don't get that problem, and I believe the relevant values to prevent that dialog-box coming up is:

[Data]
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemSkipEula=Yes

[eirogge]

Has this started happening since you slip-streamed SP2 final?

Yes it has.

[prathapml]

Has this started happening since you slip-streamed SP2 final?

Yes it has.

Have you slip-streamed the right _FINAL_ ?

I know, this sounds funny, but are you sure you used the correct final version?

First there was all this fuss of build 2179 spreading thru IRC, then a re-packed (and unsigned) RTM build 2180 coming from a lot of warez sites.

The correct final version should have either been obtained from Official source - Windows Beta - or from a source whom you know is reliable. See this topic for details of the genuine release - SP2 final.

But don't worry if you find out that you got/downloaded a fake - MS will RTW the SP2 by Tuesday, at the most. Then, you could use the known good file, and start out with your adventures.

it was a secure source i downloaded from. those hashsome aren't useful for me as they are for the english version of the file while i use the german one.
