Unattended Install Issues

useraccounts.cmd...

net user Ryan password /add
net localgroup Administrators Ryan /add
REGEDIT /S autologon.reg
EXIT

autologin.reg...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="Ryan"
"DefaultPassword"="password"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

cmdlines.txt...

[COMMANDS]
"services.cmd"
"useraccounts.cmd"
"sounds.cmd"
"remwintour.cmd"

That's about it...
The only different thing I am noticing right now is that for my winnt.sif file, in there regarding the computer information, Full Name is set to the same as I have specified for the username... is that allowable? Or would that be interfering? I don't think that's the issue, because if it was interfering then it wouldn't have allowed me to use the user Ryan at all...

that probably wouldn't interfere...

and it looks like everything there is correct...

it may be something wrong in the winnt.sif file...

post that

We have got to figure this out some way some how. There has got to be some weird issue. For some reason, when I go to change the theme, it doesn't even have anything else, it just has Windows Classic... I have to use this on my friends computer now, and he's not going to be happy what so ever. Also, for some reason when I installed it, Windows never copied over the AutoPatchXP file... yet I see it directly on the CD... any ideas? The batch file failed b/c it couldn't find it.

SEVERE ISSUES!

Ok guys, severe issues with my unattended install, worse than anything I could have predicted.

1) For some reason AutoPatcher is still not extracting itself from the CD. We get Cyclic Redundancy Checks when we try copying the folder from the CD to the hard drive... why???

2) We cannot perform a Windows update at all. We go to the website, and they keep bringing up that ActiveX Controls are prohibiting us from performing that... I have set the security levels all the way down and that still doesn't work.

Any ideas??

I read what I could understand in that, what's so different between mine and that? Do you see something that I am missing a1ehouse?

Sorry - no, just thought you might be interested in how someone else got it to work ;-)
