Hi,

I couldn't disable messanger, msn explorer, and outlook express from winnt.sif.
Here is my file: Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Try removing the spaces;

[Components]
msmsgs= off
msnexplr= off
OEAccess= off

Becomes;

[Components]
msmsgs=off
msnexplr=off
OEAccess=off

Just put a space after msnexplr the entry should be (msnexplr = off).
The items list (in mine winnt.sif) is below:

[Components]
accessopt = off
calc = off
charmap = off
Clipbook = off
deskpaper = off
dialer = off
freecell = off
heart = off
hypertrm = off
media_clips = off
media_utopia = off

It didn't work for me. I have exactly the same format. I only have 3 components listed, do you think that might be the problem. Is there any other components that needs to be turned off.

Is your unattended setup is working (like windows key, resolution, partition etc.)?

make sure you have

OemPreinstall=Yes
UnattendSwitch=Yes

set in the [Unattended] section.

and be aware that OEAccess=No just disables all visible entries to Outlook Express in Start Menu, Quick Launch and so an, but does not disable the installation of it.

I have configured so it prompts me for partition size, computer name, and admin password. Windows keys are being pulled from the winnt.sif file. I have the display section in my answer file, but it doesn't seem like it is getting that information. As i have to change the display to 1024*768. Thanks...

I am going to try your suggestion. I will disable outlook express from group policy as well. I just like to disable all visible entries to outlook express.

Attached is mine winnt.sif, check all the entry or simply replace with your key & name.

I have exactly the same problem. All settings are applied correctly, except for the entries in [Components] and TimeZone. Has someone found a solution to this problem?

The only thing i can suggest is you try changing
UnattendMode to FullUnattended in stead of ProvideDefault..


But i could be totally wrong...

Try these tweaks.
I found even though I said no, messenger still shows up when olx or ol is open, and also still enabled as a bho in ms ie.

The only warning is, it is extremely diifficult to reinstall, re-enable, or run ms messenger after applying these tweaks at t-12.

hope this helps

I had this problem too probably because I also use "provide defaut" in winnt.sif. But I manage to bypass this pb with "sysoc manager" with a txt file and a little cmdline execute in runonceex stage.

-> Components.txt

Quote

[Components]AccessOpt = Off
Freecell = Off
Hearts = Off
Minesweeper = Off
Msnexplr = Off
Pinball = On
Solitaire = On
Spider = Off
WMAccess = Off
Zonegames = Off


-> Components.cmd

Quote

cmdow @ /HID
SET path=%systemdrive%\install
sysocmgr /i:%windir%/inf/sysoc.inf /u:%path%\Components.txt


-> Runonceex.cmd:

Quote

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Configurating Components" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Components.cmd" /f


Works really fine at leat for me :)

I'm using a similar approach with cmdlines.txt now:

[COMMANDS]
"sysocmgr /q /r /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:..\I386\winnt.sif"

Works great and you don't need a separate text file anymore. The contents of winnt.sif is used instead!

The problem is that this section (and also the timezone setting) is ignored with UnattendMode=ProvideDefault. If you use UnattendMode=FullUnattended the problem does not exist.
