XP Corp Edition still shows Welcome to MS Windows

[gdkehl]

Hello,

I am unattending XP Corporate Edition and have the required entries in my winnt.sif to not show the Welcome to MS Windows screen, however it still shows up along with the Help Protect your PC.

If I am correct, there are two entries that take care of this problem.

[Data]

AutomaticUpdates=1 or Yes (I tried both)

[GuiUnattended]

OemSkipWelcome=1

With both of these entries I am still getting the Welcome to MS Windows screen. Does this only happen with Corp Edition? It does not show up when I am installing XP Pro with those 2 entries.

Don't forget these too ...

[Data]
	UnattendedInstall="Yes"
[Unattended]
	UnattendSwitch=Yes

edit: I havn't AutomaticUpdates=Yes and no intervention is required for Home, Pro (OEM or VLK)

Might be too late for an answer but I work in an education environment with a corp version of XP, and it skips my welcome screen after install. Here is the top of my WINNT.SIF file....if it helps:

[Data]
	AutoPartition=1
	MsDosInitiated="0"
	UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
	UnattendMode=FullUnattended
	OemSkipEula=Yes
	OemPreinstall=Yes
	UnattendSwitch=Yes
	TargetPath=\WINDOWS

[GuiUnattended]
	AdminPassword="xxxxxxxxxxxx"
	EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
	AutoLogon=Yes
	AutoLogonCount=2
	OEMSkipRegional=1
	TimeZone=35
	OemSkipWelcome=1

Thanks Sonic and LiquidHonesty. There was something I was missing.

UnattendSwitch=Yes

Much appreciated

Sometimes I need to slow down and not try and re-invent the wheel; I should've looked at one of my old unattends. It happens sometimes. Anyway, appreciate it.

lol

i think we all do that at times

even i have done that

and spend the next week trying to work out WTF went wrong with it .. coz i cant find a old Nlite setting file that works

always keep the Nlite setting thats that work in a safe place for backup

What happens if you want to partition the drive? Full unattended would cause a problem wouldn't it?
