Well I have now I believe a last question. In the option to add user

Quote

<adduser username="admin" password="password" groups="Administrators" fullname="Admin" />

is there any way of setting password not to expire? Thanks

but be careful with T-9min. At this point the HKCU-hive isn't loaded anymore, so reg-settings for HKCU won't be applied. T-13 or T-12 is ok.

Have you found a way to load the hive?? I'd like to install things @ t-9 since its controled by winnt.sif. That way I could have multiple .sif files for multiple computers/configurations.
For exemple, I included on my CD the unattended feature, but also wanted the normal method (almost normal...). So I have 3 winnt.sif for one computer: one fully unattended, one with default values, and one complete attended.
I tought of calling different .xml from the different .sif so xplode execute @ t-9, but I can't install things there or import settings.
Actualy, my .js script detects, @ t-12 and RunOnceEx, the computer name, and run the appropriate config. But the computer name is the same for unattended and attended installation, so right now what I've done is useless...
Anyone having an idea?
thanx

@big_gie,

i think i have a solution for your problem - you need to convert your UXPCD to a MultiBoot-CD. On this you can have multiple configurations for your XPCD. When you use CDImage with the optimize-option you can put as many XP's on it as you like.

hope this helps a bit

thanx killerbee.

Thats what I was using last year. But I don't really like having 10 I386 folders for a total of 5 Gb just for different configuration...

Nopes!
It needn't total up to 5 GB.

All it needs is 10 boot folders (3 MB each), all of which after optimization would end up occupying just another 4 MB of space in addition to a single 350 MB (or nearly that much) I386 directory.

This is how you can do it.
Run this command from a batch-file/INF/runonceEx/Xplode or anything:

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

Where can I found info on this?

hi,

or to say it in XPlode-xml:

  <execute display='Turning off password expiration' program='net.exe' arguments='accounts /maxpwage:unlimited'></execute>

have fun with it

@big_gie,

that would be interesting for me too. I'll start a new topic here regarding this as i think many XPlode-Users are interested...

[GUIRunOnce]       <-----  after reboot
    "%Systemdrive%\Install\XPlode.exe /xml:#XPLODE#\Phase4.xml /log:#SYSTEMDRIVE#\Phase4.log"

Should the # not be a % ?

I'm nog using this one:

[SetupParams]
    UserExecute="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\XPlode\XPlode.exe /xml:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\XPlode\XPlode.xml /log:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\XPlode\XPlode.log"

Could that work ?

[big_gie]

use "#" instead of "%" from outside XPlode.

Indeed, you can always use # instead. It keep you from having errors.

So in your winnt.sif, use "#", not "%".

@ big_gie and killerbee
Maybe you are interested in this, here it is:

go here for the multi-boot guide.
Just remember that there's no need for making multiple PRO2/PRO3 etc. folders under the SETUP folder (the one where you have I386 directory). You just need to edit the txtsetup.sif in the PRO2/PRO3 etc. boot folders to link to your normal single I386 folder. Got it?

For any more info on discussing this, start a new thread - and PM me the link to it.
