HELP Welcom screen appears in unattended (XP SP2)

[easyunattended]

Hello everyone,

I tried to search everything on the board but I didn't get any

satisfied solution for my problem.

Well the problem is this; I made a winnt.sif file with the

intention to do a fullunattended installation. I've put every

line into the .sif file that would give my a full unattended installation

but that wont work.

The Welcom screen, activating windows, add users and so on appears!

This is the content of my .sif file:

I also read the help file from Microsoft but my unattend install still prompts at

the "Welcome screen".

Not to forget to mention to you I've used 2 sources of Windows and both sources failed. I thought that something was wrong with my first source and so I slipstreamed XP with SP2 anew but my problem still exists.

I hope someone could help me out with this.

you could always use nLite to remove it.

[StefanMuench]

set AutoActivate to No and give it a try. how do you think to configure network? DHCP?

[creopard]

It justs Prompts to the welcome screen and requests you to enter the password?

EncryptedAdminPassword = Yes

You know exactly know what this option does!?

So you really encrypted your password before installation and put the encprypted password in the "AdminPassword" line?

Hi to all !

first i want to say thanx to all helpers here....

@easyunattended :

i had the same prob with winxp sp0....can´t figure it out...

so i tried nlite installer and it was fine....

after that i "tuned" the winnt.sif for my needs and it still works fine!

even with a fresh copy from my xp-cd.

hope it works for you
