generating unattend.txt DURING PE install

[maelstrom]

I am currently using Bart PE to partition/format drives dynamicly depending on their size.

then i'm kicking off winnt32 that is fully unattended with the exception of naming the computer and joining the domain

the computers name has to be specific so they need to enter it about half way through the installer(annoying..cause if they could walk away entirely it woudl be mutch easier)

when joining the domain the installer has to enter a user/pass

here is my idea..maybe someone can help me implement it...or atleast give me some ideas to help me think out of the box.

1. Load PE

2. Start a nice looking HTA with some input boxes for

Computer Name

Authorised Domain Username

Doamin Password

3. add the user input into unattend.txt and maybe some sort of holder file for the domain user/pass? (i dont realy know how i'm gonna get this setting into the installer...or even if its possible)

also, I would like to avoid the one last login the installing technician has to do(they need to log on as localadmin) WITHOUT using an unencrypted password OR hardcoding a pasword into a file.

maybe i could make an account that is localadmin with no password and delete it at the end of the install? if so how do i get that particular account to autologin instead of the "default" renamed localadmin?

any help or suggestions(even off the wall ones) are appreciated
