Super Admin and specialise pass - data image silent install


Recommended Posts

Can anyone provide information on if there is a way to force Vista during the Specialise pass to use the super admin account to install an application.

In Audit mode before generalisation its possible to install media player classic as the "super admin" account Is available, while if i use a data image I can not install it during the specialisation pass, due to security restrictions. (Installing from DVD and runsynchronous calling a cmd file)

I'd love a work around for this. I need to use Media Player Classic as I have legacy hardware and MP11 is too resource hungry for video play back.

I've considered capturing a generalsied working WIM with it pre-insatlled and installing from that - but I am a bit hazy on how to do this by renaming in install.wim and then integrating it into the CD, MS Documentation does not give any best practice for recovery media creation for OEM's. They are pushing the winre / hard disk based recovery that is not always an option in some circumstances.

More professional advice on this would be appreciated.

Cheers guys.

I put my installers into the $OEM$ tree.

And then run them thru "RunSynchronous" tag, as illustrated in the sample, after enabling auto-login once after first-boot for an admin user (note that during this first autologin, when runsynchronous commands are running, UAC isnt yet active so it all proceeds smoothly).
