ribond Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 1. Make sure that your [guirunonce] lines are quoted. 2. Open up %windir%\system32\$winnt$.inf to see what Windows did to your unattend when it parsed it... if it found bad characters/formatting in there it may have decided to remove your guirunonce line.

mikejd1 Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 ok all i came across something weird with this...it seems as though when the PC logs in automatically, its loggin in under the name i set it to which is "mike". when the system logs in as mike, it does not install the programs, however when i log off mike and log on as administrator, the programs start to install automatically using the guirunonceany thoughts??here is my setupin my $oem$ folder i have "autologon.reg" Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="Mike""DefaultPassword"="XXXXXX""AutoAdminLogon"="1"then "cmdlines"[COMMANDS]"useraccounts.cmd""REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"then "useraccounts.cmd"net user Mike xxxxxx /addnet localgroup Administrators Mike /addnet accounts /maxpwage:unlimitedREGEDIT /S autologon.regEXITThen my second question is this, why is Mike not log in with admin privileges?Thanks allMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

<SparTacuS> Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Sorry I took so long to come back to you Mike. The guide does work. The only difference that I can see in your setup and the one that I use a dozen times every week is the way that you are using the [GuiRunOnce] to start your installs. Try automating instead from RunOnceEx (guide in the usual place) - you will find that you have to change very little.Just to show that it does work - here are my files to compare;winnt.sif[GuiRunOnce]EMPTYcmdlines.txt[COMMANDS]"useraccounts.cmd""RunOnceEx.cmd"useraccounts.cmdnet user "Ben Dover" XXXXX /addnet localgroup Administrators "Ben Dover" /addnet accounts /maxpwage:unlimitedREGEDIT /S autologon.regEXITautologon.regWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="Ben Dover""DefaultPassword"="XXXXX""AutoAdminLogon"="1"RunOnceEx.cmdcmdow @ /HID@echo offIF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F:IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G:IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H:IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I:IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J:IF EXIST k:\CD.txt set CDROM=k:IF EXIST l:\CD.txt set CDROM=l:IF EXIST m:\CD.txt set CDROM=m:IF EXIST n:\CD.txt set CDROM=n:IF EXIST o:\CD.txt set CDROM=o:IF EXIST p:\CD.txt set CDROM=p:IF EXIST q:\CD.txt set CDROM=q:IF EXIST r:\CD.txt set CDROM=r:IF EXIST s:\CD.txt set CDROM=s:IF EXIST t:\CD.txt set CDROM=t:IF EXIST u:\CD.txt set CDROM=u:IF EXIST v:\CD.txt set CDROM=v:IF EXIST w:\CD.txt set CDROM=w:IF EXIST x:\CD.txt set CDROM=x:IF EXIST y:\CD.txt set CDROM=y:IF EXIST z:\CD.txt set CDROM=z:SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Core Applications and Settings" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Install\001-PREP\prepare.cmd" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Install\001-PREP\rename.cmd" /fREG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Windows Components and Add-Ons" /fREG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Install\002-COMPO\compo.cmd" /fREG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Media Codecs and Players" /fREG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Install\004-MEDIAP\mediap.cmd" /fetc etc . . .For the more experienced - Yea I know that the CD lines can be shorter - but they were already working so wotdahell, and yea all my installs run from secondary batches - it saves on messing with pauses etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
