the $OEM$ folder not copying itself to the hard disk for some reason..

the only change i made since the last time i tested the disk was creating a user controlled winnt.sif ... i don't know how this change could effect.. i got some other problem when using user controlled winnt.sif - when i'm changing the user name to, say "Adiel" , after installation , i need to log in as administrator and my user "Adiel" is not shown in the welcome screen ..

here's my winnt.sif :

OemPreinstall=Yes

Alanoll will be angry when he sees this topic

Why should he??

i did searched the forum for this problem , nothing came up , so

there's nothing to be angry at . i've learnt my lesson already

(BUMPING and searching , rofl how sad )

and i'll try this thank u

Why should he??

Well, kenedy was saying so humorously, I guess.

But even in a serious vein, this one's got to be simply the Q asked the most number of times - your search must have done something strange to not turn up the answer. Anyways, the solution is seen now, and all the best for your CD.

And finally, posting your key publicly is a bad idea (edited out now).

Well thank you , didn't notice

anyone knows something about the other problem with user log in?

anyone knows something about the other problem with user log in?

what is the problem about?

i got some other problem when using user controlled winnt.sif - when i'm changing the user name to, say "Adiel" , after installation , i need to log in as administrator and my user "Adiel" is not shown in the welcome screen ..

...

Try this:

Make sure OEMPreinstall=Yes

Make sure $OEM$ is in the root of the directory structure.

To logon as Administrator, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.

no no tguy , i don't want to log as administrator , i want to login with

the user i've Creater ("Adiel") .. that's my problem .. this is more clear now?

Here you go. After actually reading, you will know http://unattended.msfn.org

you should be able to just add this to your registry tweaks with the proper usernames, etc...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Replace InsertName value with the Username you want to autologin with.

;Replace InsertPassword value with the password corresponding to the Username specified.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"DefaultUserName"="InsertName"

"DefaultPassword"="InsertPassword"

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

but i don't want it to be AutoLogon.

i just want that in the Welcome Screen with the user selection ,

my user "Adiel" will be shown , and not just the administrator account .

Ohhh you dont want it to autologon? Perhaps ummmmm
