pballdan11 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Ive been trying to get my unattended install to auto setup a user for me, which it does fine. But when windows finished install it still asks me to enter User names. Anyone know a reg tweak that stops Windows from starting this screen? Or am i missing something in Winnt.sif?Heres my code:UserAccount.cmdnet user NAME Pass /addnet localgroup NAME /addnet accounts /maxpwage:unlimitedREGEDIT /S Autologon.regEXITAutologon.regWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="NAME""DefaultPassword"="Pass""AutoAdminLogon"="1"Winnt.sif[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="PASS" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=020 OemSkipWelcome=1Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoonite Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I can't guarantee this will fix it, but you can try adding [Unattended] UnattendSwitch=yes to your WINNT.SIF file if it's not already there. I found ref.chm to be a little confusing on the exact purpose of the two entries.UnattendSwitchSpecifies whether Setup skips Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup when preinstalling Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional using the CD boot method.Syntax UnattendSwitch = Yes | No Values Yes Instructs Setup to skip Windows Welcome.No Instructs Setup not to skip Windows Welcome.Default Value NoOEMSkipWelcomeEnables unattended Setup to skip the Welcome page in GUI-mode Setup and Mini-Setup.Syntax OEMSkipWelcome = 0 | 1 Values 0 Displays the Welcome page in GUI-mode Setup and Mini-Setup.1 Skips the Welcome page in GUI-mode Setup and Mini-Setup.I have both OEMSkipWelcome and UnattendSwitch in my WINNT.SIF, and it seems to work fine.Hope this helps.

pballdan11 Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 @Cartoonite - Thanks, tried it and it worked like a charm.Now I just need to find the thread about autologon for the administrator account and getting rid of the stupid Welcome screen.

Cartoonite Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Use a registry tweak to set the Administrator account as the default logon account.Autologon.regWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="Username""DefaultPassword"="Password""AutoAdminLogon"="1"This is the exact file that I use to accomplish this on my own uA CD (with username and password removed, of course). I register these settings from cmdlines.txt which is run, if I remember correctly, at the end of GUI-mode setup (around T-12 or T-13).Not sure what "Welcome screen" you are referring to. If you mean the annoying "Take a Tour of Windows XP" or whatever bubble that pops up in your system tray on a fresh install, that's a regtweak as well.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]"RunCount"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]"RunCount"=dword:00000000If that's not it, I also found this when I was looking for that last tweak, maybe it is the one you are looking for:;----- ;----- Determines whether the Welcome to Windows splash screen, Welcome.exe, ;----- appears the next time the user logs on. ;-----[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips]"Show"=dword:00000000If that's not it either, I'm out of ideas for now. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
