How To Bypass Add Users -oobeinfo Winnt.sif-


Recommended Posts

I have searched a lot about the unattended install. Everything like drivers, hotfixes with svcpack.inf. I also tried adding users with oobeinfo.ini but it didn't work. I am trying two days now but it won't work.

I want to bypass the four questions like automatic update, network and users. I only want to create Administrator with no other users.

I made an oobeinfo.ini file and placed this one in $OEM$\$$\system32

in winnt.sif i placed the unattendswitch to yes.

Can anyone help me? I don't see it anymore.

Here is my winnt.sif

Did you search on Unattennded XP CD Guide on MSFN?

http://unattended.msfn.org/global/reference.htm

I already read most of the pages of msfn.org and in my opinion you have to use oempreinstall=yes to use the $OEM$ Distribution folders and put the oobeinfo.ini file in it to bypass the netry of users. It works for hotfixes.

Also the unattendswitch has to be yes.

I'm sorry I placed an old one of oobeinfo.ini. Here is the latest.

[StartupOptions]
StartUrl=""
Registration=1
Offline=1

[UserInfo]
Identity000="ExtraUser"    <- this extra user I don't want

[options]
MouseTutorial=0
JoinDomain=1
AdminPw=1
IntroOnly=0                      <- here i read something about

[OEMRegistrationPage]
OEMAddRegPage=0
PostToOEM=0
RegPostURL=""

[Data]
   AutomaticUpdates=Yes

[Unattended]
   FactoryMode=Yes

this should do it. the factory mode thing is just for disabling this 5sec windows logo animation which is part of oobe. you shouldnt need a oobeinfo.ini

if this doesnt work, disable the AutoLogon via winnt.sif and add a user / autologon at t12 as described in the guide.

Thanks,

I tried but it didn't work. He still comes in the screen where you have to tell the network, automatic updates and users. In the last you have to place at least 1 user. The second part I didn't try yet because I don't know how to use cmdlines.txt.

By the way FactoryMode I found in Windows 2003 and/or with sysprep. I try to make a clean install CD for Windows XP. Does it work in XP without sysprep?

Ha, I found why the problem happened...

UnattendedSwitch="yes"

should be

UnattendSwitch="yes"

argon007 thanks a lot!

When looking and looking you oversee the 'ed'.

It's working now.

yeah its not meant to work for xp without sysprep but it has the side effect that is disables this oobe video.
