Fully unattended windows xp annoyance


Recommended Posts

My unattended windows installation goes fine up to where I have to click to turn automatic updates on or off and then after that click again to skip the internet connection setup. However in my winnt.sif file there is a entry that under [Data] AutomaticUpdates=yes. I would like my disk to install unattended after the text phase up to the point where the first user is created. Can anyone help with this?

In your winnt.sif file, under the [Data] section, add: AutomaticUpdates=yes.

That should stop the automatic updates page from showing.

You can try using UnattendSwitch=Yes - that will totally remove all such screens. But then, there will be no user creation screens either. So for that, I suggest you use the oobeinfo.ini

Using the oobeinfo.ini method worked. But it stops at a administrator login screen. In my oobeinfo.ini file I have created one account: [userInfo]

Identity000="Nazz"

And after logging in there is no Nazz account.
