here is a copy of my winnt.sif
everything works fine except i still get it asking me to enable auto protect pc when i do a clean install.

i have put in AutomaticUpdates=1 also tryed AutomaticUpdates=yes but it doesn't seem to work...
Also would like to know if there is anyway of making the install, install all the extra languages.

Thanx in advance!

[Data]
    AutoPartition=1
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"
    AutomaticUpdates = Yes

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    FileSystem = ConvertNTFS
    UnattendSwitch = Yes

And this works just fine?

I'm using a netinstall btw, hence the AP1

[jessc]

ok, so it seems to me that the AutomaticUpdates = Yes only works when you do a FullUnattended, am i right?

I have the exact problem as you of Automatic updates not being enabled dispite having the correct settings in winnt.sif. I have given up and I am currently trying to figure out how to enable the setting via a registry "tweak". It appears that the area in the registry where you enable/disable automatic updates has changed with SP2.

[netguy45]

I added this to my "regtweaks.reg" file and it successfully enabled automatic updates for me:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
"ConfigVer"=dword:00000001
"AUOptions"=dword:00000004
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Reporting]
"BatchFlushAge"=dword:00000e2e
"SamplingValue"=dword:000000f1
"SequenceNumber"=dword:00000002

Updates will be done automatically everyday at 2am with these registry settings.
