gdkehl Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 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=1With 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidHonesty Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdkehl Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Thanks Sonic and LiquidHonesty. There was something I was missing.UnattendSwitch=YesMuch appreciatedSometimes 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystek Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 What happens if you want to partition the drive? Full unattended would cause a problem wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
