Different User Accounts for different winnt.sif

[Grake]

Hello again

So I set up multi boot dvd with different winnt.sif files so when I choose 1, it installs XP by the name of Sam, and when I choose 2, it installs XP by the name of Grake.]

After it installs, it creates the same user account for both of us, which is in the $OEM$ folder.

Is there any way to have 2 different user accounts, and specify it to use one user for an installation of xp, and another for the 2nd installation of xp using the winnt.sif files? or any other files?

Thanks

Hi grake,

You can use the oobeinfo.ini file to configure user creation. (this is the easier method).

Or you can have commands executed at the end of winnt.sif which will create users.

Here's where you can read up about both - LINK

Hoping this helps...

To create user accounts, you must specify them in the cmdlines.txt file, not the winnt.sif file...

hmm..don't know if you understood my question properly.

I would like to create different user for different computer using the same cd of xp.

Right now I use the cmdlines.txt file to create a user, but it's the same user for all the computers. I would like to have different users (the ones I specify for each computer). Right now I specify a winnt.sif files for each computer using the cd shell boot menu. I'd like something like that?

Why don't you create multiple setup folders each with their own $OEM$ directory containing unique cmdlines.txt files each then use the optimize function of cdimage to make it fit on CD (or just use a DVD).

Im using a CD (have a dvd but that's for some other use ), and I really don't have the space in the cd to create multiple setup folders.

I was thinking along the lines of adding a text file or something.

Have a question:

I have this user created everytime I install xp, is it possible to tell it not to run comandline.txt and those user creation files using the winnt.sif file?

Edit:

I searched the forums and appearently XP Pro doesn't really need a user created at the beginning as it creates an Admin user.

so problems solved lol

thnx
