I've got all but one thing licked on my unattended install (thanx to this awesome site) the only thing i can't seem to get right is this..
It completly installs unattended and when the desktop comes up, the user name is always Administrator. I have to create a new account.
I know when I do the unattended install it bypasses the screen that usually pops up asking for user names etc.. How can I have a name put into the "User Name" line while this portion passes invisibly?
Thank all in advance. I'm very confident that someone will giggle, then help me out.

It is XP Pro with sp2 slipstreamed and some reg tweaks that run via GUI RunOnceEx.

Thanx again Y'all

Oh. I do have my unattendswitch at "yes" so i know this is what makes it bypass the "Mini-setup" part.

There are two things you need to do that I can think of, off the top of my head.

1) Remove the auto login reg settings
2) Create the new user account

To remove the auto login keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
AutoAdminLogin = 0
DefaultPassword (delete this entry)



To create a new user, I use the following:

%SYS32%\Useradd.exe \\%COMPUTERNAME% %NEWUSER% %NEWPASS% “Main User” Administrators
