Am I Attempting The Impossible?

[GasPipeJimmy]

I'm trying to do an unattended/GUIattended installation disk that WILL require the user to put in their name, password, machine name but NOTHING else.

Is that possible? I thought it was just as long as you had the rest of the answer file filled in correctly.

I get the screens that ask:

This question or dialog box I want to keep:

Personalize Your Software

(Name and Organization, Computer Name, and Administrator Password)

These I don't need asked or displayed at all (and I do not know how to make them go away):

Regional and Lanuage Options

Date and Time Settings

Network Settings

Workgroup or Computer Domain

Is what I want to do even possible?

If it is possible, could any of you please tell me where I am going astray in the winnt.sif file?

Thanks to anyone that can help me, or even tries.

You could do something like "UnattendedMode=DefaultHide", which shows only those pages that the user is meant to change, such as the user and machine name.

[Unattended]
  UnattendMode=DefaultHide

That's IT!?

That's all?

Dang, if all of my problems were this easy to fix.

Thank you so much os2fan2!

PS: What's the UnattendSwitch=Yes switch do?

I have come across a few different explanations, and each sounds just as plausible, but they are all contradictory.

From technet:

Specifies whether Setup skips Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup when preinstalling Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional by using the CD Boot method.
