nightflyer Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hello,I have made a DVD with XP+Office 2003 with all the SP, patches, and the rest. Everything works ok. After installing XP Pro the system reboot and the waits for the admin password before starting to install Office 2003. Is there anyway to avoid this so that the install will go all the way through?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightflyer Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have followed the instructions on the MSFN site. I have slipstreamed xp, sp2, patches, office 2003. I noticed that the winnt.sif file has the password in the GUIUNATTENDED section. Maybe this file needs to be edit in a different way? A copy of my file fllows:;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="yes" WaitForReboot="No"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="ABCD" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductKey=JC4Y8-J2V9R-4JGY6-Y69W4-TYCMQ FullName="guess who" OrgName="gw" ComputerName=VMTEST[Display] BitsPerPel=16 Xresolution=800 YResolution=600[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\office.cmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 You could use a little modified way of adding users on the unattended guide -> Intermediate Users -> Adding User to make the administrator logon automatically. Works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furbie Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 In order to enable the PC to logon automatically for the sake of completing setup. You can set an automatic login count in the winnt.sif.This will add an autologon count to the registry - once the count reaches 0 it will delete itself and the stored password from the registry.[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="password" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=255 OemSkipWelcome=1If you need the machine to login more than once just change the value of the AutoLogonCount.Hope this helps you out.

tha_toadman Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) does it matter if the password is encrypted or not? i have an encrypted password and 'autologon' in my winnt.sif file yet it doesn't auto logon? the only thing i don't have in my is the 'autologoncount' but that really shouldn't matter right? everything else from furbie's post matches in mine but my password is encrypted and his isn't.

Dobby Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Sounds to me like you've created another user and are subsequently logging in with it. It's asking for the password because this new user is not an administrator. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
