harryhoudini66 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hello everyone,Before I get to my question, I must say that this site is awesome. The information that is found here is just amazing. It is a little intimidating though. I been building, upgrading, fixing computers enough to think I was advanced. However, once I saw the Intermediate and Advanced sections for the Unattended CD it really humbled me. So far, I could only make the Beginner version. I am sure with your help I can get the rest down.Anyways, here is my question for the time being. I made a basic unattended CD, which works well. However, I still get prompted to enter a bit of information and am hoping you can tell me what I need to change.After the install, I receive the following prompts:Welcome to Microsoft XPHelp Protect Your Computer Automatic UpdatesChecking for Internet ConnectionRegister Windows XPWindows XP TourHow do I fix this? Is it on the winnt.sif or the OOBEINFO.ini?Here are both of them.winnt.sifOOBEINFO.INI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASpurrier3 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) "If OemPreinstall in the [unattended] section of Unattend.txt is set to Yes, unattended Setup automatically stops on the Welcome page. To avoid this pause in your factory or testing environment, set OEMSkipWelcome = 1. Do not ship any computer with OEMSkipWelcome = 1. Instead, change OEMSkipWelcome in the [GuiUnattended] section of Sysprep.inf to 0 before delivering the computer to the customer." - from Windows Corporate Deployment ToolsFrom what I have read, UnattendMode=FullUnattended does not automate MiniSetup if OemPreinstall=Yes. Try using a sysprep.inf.-JASpurrier3 Edited December 7, 2005 by JASpurrier3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayOK Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Welcome to MSFN! Ahh, sounds like the OOBE. Pretty sure you can disable it through nLite or a few fixes, but I use this method by xenogen: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10799It takes everything out of the OOBE except the user account creation. And when I'm done with that its setup to auto login with the top user. Then finally a registry tweak to disable the auto login, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryhoudini66 Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Thanks for the reply. I am confused though. I did have that value set already on the winnt.sif file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASpurrier3 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Yes, RayOK is correct, my mistake. I added "UnattendSwitch = Yes" to the [unattended] section in your Winnt.sif below.;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=Yes WaitForReboot="No" UnattendSwitch = Yes[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=4 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey=1234-1234-3XK2M-45674-VYPKT FullName="User" OrgName="None" ComputerName=The-Matrix[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=ZION[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Display] BitsPerPel= 16 Vrefresh= 75 Xresolution= 1024 Yresolution= 768[Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemesOff=Yes-JASpurrier3 Edited December 7, 2005 by JASpurrier3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yeah, RayOK is correct - those are OOBE questions, and wouldn't be asked by default unless you included the oobe inf (which you've done). I suggest a)scripting OOBE entirely, b)using another method (rather than OOBE) to script user creation, or c)use a tool such as nLite to remove as much of the OOBE as you are able.

harryhoudini66 Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Thanks you for your help guys. As I waited for a response I looked at the ref.cfm file and found the change for the oobinfo.ini.I put this:[userInfo]Identity000="NewUser-Admin"[Options]IntroOnly=1Everything worked perfectly on the VM Edited December 7, 2005 by harryhoudini66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryhoudini66 Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 What does the Unattended Switch do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 What does the Unattended Switch do?UnattendSwitchSpecifies whether Setup skips Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup when preinstalling Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional using the CD boot method.(from Ref.chm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
