Nucleus Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) After a fully automated installation, windows xp started for the first time, and a window appeared saying: "To improve the appearance of visual elements, Windows will automatically adjust your screen resolution."So i had to click "OK" (There goes the automated installation)Then another message appeared, saying: "Windows adjusted your screen resolution. If you can read this, click OK to continue."So i click "OK" again.Then, i didnt want to have the first winxp screen that says: "Help protect my PC by turning on Automatic Updates now."So i configured my WINNT.SIF[Data]AutomaticUpdates=yesI also didn't want the:- Checking your internet connectivity.- Ready to register with Microsoft.- Who will use this computer?screens appearing, so i used the OOBEINFO.INI Method.This is what i typed in my OOBEINFO.INI, and i put it in $OEM$\$$\system32.[userInfo]Identity000="WindowsXP"Obviously, i did something wrong.I also have a few applications that should automatically install after winxp setup finishes, but those get installed just fine as soon as i get pass the first configuration screens of winxp.What i want to do, is automatically get pass through these screens:- To improve the appearance of visual elements, Windows will automatically adjust your screen resolution.- Windows adjusted your screen resolution. If you can read this, click OK to continue.- Welcome to Microsoft WindowsThank you for purchasing Micorosft Windows XP.Let's spend a few minutes setting up your computer.- Help protect my PC by turning on Automatic Updates now.- Checking your internet connectivity.- Ready to register with Microsoft.- Who will use this computer?And add a user named "WindowsXP"This is my WINNT.SIFThank you for your help.;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes[Unattended] FileSystem=* UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=130 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX FullName="Windows XP" OrgName="Professional" ComputerName=Windows[TapiLocation] CountryCode=357 Dialing=Tone[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=4 SystemLocale=00000408 UserLocale=00000408 InputLocale=0409:00000409[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmd Edited February 28, 2005 by prathapml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucleus Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 After using "UnattendSwitch=yes" the installation finished just fine. No questions to answer, all the programs were installed. The only problem was the the user was not created, and windows logged in as Administrator.What i did, was, i created a OOBEINFO.INI file, with this information in it:[userInfo]Identity000="WindowsXP"And i just saved it in $OEM$\$$\system32.Is there anything else that must be done for this file to create the user? Any reference of this file anywhere else?I'll try it again today.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 What i did, was, i created a OOBEINFO.INI file, with this information in it:[userInfo]Identity000="WindowsXP"And i just saved it in <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Has to be in:$OEM$\$$\system32\OOBE.

prathapml Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Have you tried using a different user name?Because some words are not allowed (such as computername, regname, COMPUTER, etc.)Else, everything looks okay.Hey, remove your key from above code section! When you post winnt.sif, don't give out your product key, for obvious reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucleus Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 oops. I'm sorry, i fixed it.I'll try it with a different name like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucleus Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 No, the problem continues. Windows logs in as "Administrator" although in OOBEINFO.ini i defined a use with the name WinXP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
