Net user method works BUT ...

[Jeroeneke]

If i use the net user method to add users, it works, but I still get promped with the windows welcome screen to add users. I have to add at least one user there to continue... Does anybody knows what to do ?

This is what I have in my winnt.sif file:

[Data]
	AutomaticUpdates=1
[Unattended]
	UnattendedSwitch=Yes

This is what in my useraccounts.cmd file is:

net user Jeroen /add
net localgroup Administrators Jeroen /add
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
EXIT

thx in advance!

[Yzöwl]

simple spelling mistakes...

UnattendSwitch="yes"

[Jeroeneke]

Sorry for that one, I've tried many different settings like "YES", "Yes", "yes", YES, Yes etc. etc. but it never worked. I always get promped with the question if I would like to enable autoupdate and on the next screen I have to add at least one user to contenu.

This is a copy of my full winnt.sif file:

[Data]
    AutomaticUpdates=1
    MsDosInitiated="0"

Oh, I also have to say I'm doing this via cmdlines.txt, maybe it's not the correct moment ?

EDIT:

Yzöwl is right.

Mine winnt.sif has UnattendSwitch=Yes

UnattendSwitch = Yes

not

UnattendedSwitch = Yes

[Jeroeneke]

thanks in any case!

Have you considered OOBEINFO.INI instead of net user method? If you are setting up a single user PC without need for predefined password, it will install your default user even more simply.

[Sonic]

as I have already stated...

UnattendSwitch = Yes

not

UnattendedSwitch = Yes

I'm blind, and moreover I have redo the mistake and I have mine winnt.sif opened

(past post edited ..)

[Jeroeneke]

Hi, I'm using a password so the OOBEINFO.INI method won't do it for me

I'm at school right now so I can't test it.

Will let you know if it works.

[Jeroeneke]

It works now, I don't get promped anymore with that screen. But now there are atumatically 2 users created:

the one I have created via net user, and than an "owner" user ("Eigenaar" for the dutch speaking people here )

is there any way to fix that or should I have to use the OOBEINFO.INI method instead ?

[sHaDYvB]

try to delete him using "net user blahblah /delete"

or if u want u can keep him and assign autologon to ur created account ,

i think u can make use of my UserAccount Section of my Unattended.CMD

:: Create a new user and autologin

net user "Err0r" /add
net localgroup Administrators "Err0r" /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
net accounts ASPnet /delete

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d Err0r /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

[Jeroeneke]

Sorry for my late reply but I hadn't got much time last days

The method you described me doesn't work! It says that the /DELETE options is unknown (thats what DOS returns me)

any other solution or something ?

[Jeroeneke]

Comeon, somebody should know?!

[Djé]

Well, let me try !

Do you use nLite (even only for slipstreaming stuf in your CD)? It looks like this prog -however cool it is otherwise- is still a neglected little boy and leaves its dirty hand-marks in a few places arround. One of those marks (although -shame on me, the blamer with no clue- I don't remember where) may be this 'owner' user (I had to deal with a 'Propriétaire' one for a while).

So anyway, to remove it you may need to use the /delete option not on the accounts but on the user:

net accounts Yourf***inOwnerHere /delete

net user Yourf***inOwnerHere /delete

Wah! Big brother is watching me! My u c and k have been censored!

Twice! He's really over me! Help! Help! Hel*******
