Thinkster Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 On my previous custom builds, After Windows has finished installing and is "logging on" the first time, it would play some animated screens and say "Let's tak a few moments setting up your computer" then would allow me to enter user names and choose to Register with Microsoft and check for internet connection, etc...Now I have slipstreamed SP2, Ryan's VM Post SP2 Hotfixes, BTSDrivers and have used the new nLite 1.0beta. I no longer get the "set up your computer" screens like I would prefer to have. How do I get this back?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinkster Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 hmmm. I thought I had cut & paste my data from winnt.sif from my previous build, but I guess I didn't save it. It appears the UnattendSwitch= is now at "yes" and was at "no" before. Hopefully this is what it is... back to the "burning board" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yzöwl Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 And here was me thinking that in the first section of my link where it said, "UnattendSwitch="yes" instructs Windows XP Setup to skip the "Welcome to Windows XP" screens, where user account and Internet setting-up takes place." may have helped!

Thinkster Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 Yes the UnattendSwitch = No did the trick.. I get the "Let's take a few moments..." screens which I want because I want to be able to put the user(s) name in at this point rather then adding them through User Manager in Control Panel.I think I'm going to have to use my original winnt.sif as I think nLite messed up some of my other preferences as well..I was hoping that after I put a user name like "John" and click next and go through the remaining stuff, that it would autologon to 'John's" account and run my PostInstal.bat which installs applications and customizes a few things. It seems to autologin to the Administrator account and does the customization of only that account so John's account doesn't have what I intended it to have. Does this sound like a winnt.sif issue?
