XP Corp Edition still shows Welcome to MS Windows


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am unattending XP Corporate Edition and have the required entries in my winnt.sif to not show the Welcome to MS Windows screen, however it still shows up along with the Help Protect your PC.

If I am correct, there are two entries that take care of this problem.

[Data]

AutomaticUpdates=1 or Yes (I tried both)

[GuiUnattended]

OemSkipWelcome=1

With both of these entries I am still getting the Welcome to MS Windows screen. Does this only happen with Corp Edition? It does not show up when I am installing XP Pro with those 2 entries.

[Unattended]

edit: I havn't AutomaticUpdates=Yes and no intervention is required for Home, Pro (OEM or VLK)

Might be too late for an answer but I work in an education environment with a corp version of XP, and it skips my welcome screen after install. Here is the top of my WINNT.SIF file....if it helps:

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

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

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword="xxxxxxxxxxxx"
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=2
OEMSkipRegional=1
TimeZone=35
OemSkipWelcome=1

Thanks Sonic and LiquidHonesty. There was something I was missing.

UnattendSwitch=Yes

Much appreciated

Sometimes I need to slow down and not try and re-invent the wheel; I should've looked at one of my old unattends. It happens sometimes. Anyway, appreciate it.
