Morkeleb Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi there.After looking at what wihu can do I think it might be the right think for me to use,but I have questions:- Windows install already provides means to create users, ofcourse only just by giving names. Is the WIHU user creation indended as a replacement? If yes, I have to assume to disable the windows-internal user creation in winnt.sif?- Where should wihu be placed on the cd and how should it be called?- At which point of the installation will wihu run?- Are there any specific winnt.sif and other configurations of the windows installation cd recommended? (In my case values like owner or computer name are already filled in, but remain editable)- Isn't there a step-by-step instruction how to install wihu to the cd, with some samples?Oh, btw, I am using XPCreate to create a windows xp slipstream cd.Thanx in advance,Morke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminKalytta Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 @Morkeleb: Hi.Yes WIHU is able to create users. In fully unattended installation Windows XP will not create a default user AFAIK. In this case WIHU is usefull.I created a folder $OEM$\$1\OemData which will cause Windows Installation to copy it to folder "OemData" on System drive. You have to select something like[Data] UnattendedInstall=Yes[Unattended] UnattendMode=DefaultHide UnattendSwitch=Yesin winnt.sif.Best place to run WIHU is in GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif.[GuiRunOnce] "%systemdrive%\OemData\wihu.exe /autologon"Of course you could start WIHU eralier at T-12 or so, but it isn't recommended because there are some restrictions at this stage.Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
