Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think you actually mean OOBE (Out Of Box Experience)? You can execute it if you use the correct switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abuthemagician Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 I got it working using the OOBEINFO.INI file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim A Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 How did you get it working with OOBEINFO? I was trying to do the same thing. I wanted everything unnattended, but I wanted the one add users screen.ThanksTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuthemagician Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 look in the ref.chm file under oobeinfo.ini and when you create the file place it in the:\$OEM$\$$\System32\OOBE\ directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeebum Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Is there a fast way to test whether the oobeinfo.ini file works the way I desire?Or am I doomed to reinstall Windows everytime I want to test a small change?I have read ref.chm regarding oobeinfo.ini but I do not see anything regarding how to hide certain pages from the user. Is it necessary to populate all the fields of oobeinfo to hide all the screens, except the User Creation screen (...the only one I want visible ?)I need a bit more info...EDIT: Discovered that there are numerous versions of ref.chm. The deployment tools cab I downloaded from microsoft ( KB838080 ) is newer than one I pulled from the CD (dated 2001). The one from the CD makes much more sense to me than the updated one. Even after reading the older ref.chm I am still unsure about what will hide or show pages. Anybody have an example of their oobeinfo.ini online somewhere? Maybe a small section could be appended to the unattended guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuthemagician Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Here is mine:[Options]SkipAutoUpdate = 1[StartupOptions]Offline = 1ScreenResolutionCheck = 1This gets rid of everything but the auto updates question and the add users screen.To test i reccomend the virtual PC trial. You get 45 days with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuMz Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Wow, this would be a nice addition, I had no idea you could keep those screens in an unattended installation...this will make my setup a lot more user friendly...awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuMz Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hey guys, is there a way, using the OOBE, to get the user to input the "Name", "Organization", and "Workgroup / Domain" as well as the Add users screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
