A number of questions

Recommended Posts

Hi there.

After looking at what wihu can do I think it might be the right think for me to use,

but I have questions:

- Windows install already provides means to create users,

ofcourse only just by giving names.

Is the WIHU user creation indended as a replacement?

If yes, I have to assume to disable the windows-internal user

creation in winnt.sif?

- Where should wihu be placed on the cd and how should it be called?

- At which point of the installation will wihu run?

- Are there any specific winnt.sif and other configurations of the

windows installation cd recommended?

(In my case values like owner or computer name are already

filled in, but remain editable)

- Isn't there a step-by-step instruction how to install wihu to the cd,

with some samples?

Oh, btw, I am using XPCreate to create a windows xp slipstream cd.

Thanx in advance,

Morke

@Morkeleb: Hi.

Yes WIHU is able to create users. In fully unattended installation Windows XP will not create a default user AFAIK. In this case WIHU is usefull.

I created a folder $OEM$\$1\OemData which will cause Windows Installation to copy it to folder "OemData" on System drive. You have to select something like

[Data]
   UnattendedInstall=Yes
[Unattended]
   UnattendMode=DefaultHide
   UnattendSwitch=Yes

in winnt.sif.

Best place to run WIHU is in GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif.

[GuiRunOnce]
   "%systemdrive%\OemData\wihu.exe /autologon"

Of course you could start WIHU eralier at T-12 or so, but it isn't recommended because there are some restrictions at this stage.
