From what I've read, I'm supposed to omit <computername></computername> from my unattend xml to have the computer prompt me to name the computer. I'm running a script at first logon to join to the domain, so that shouldn't be an issue. Am I missing something very obvious? I've not been able to get it to prompt me.

Did you try to adapt a Vista XML for Windows 7? Both SkipMachineOOBE and SkipUserOOBE are deprecated.

No, I thought that it removed those. I saw that in the messages in the WSIM. I can remove those, but do you think that would affect the machine not prompting for computer name?

Yes! Remove like said Tripedacus the two deprecated values!
Thanks

Worked like a charm. Thanks for pointing that out.
