Thanks for taking the time to reply MrJinje. Iv put those two lines into my Autounattend.xml. Il report how it goes.

Could anyone possible help me pls. Im trying to disable Initial Configuration Tasks & Server Manager at logon. I have several reg keys some found from searching but none seem to be working. As examples ; Do Not Open Initial Configuration Tasks [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerManager\Oobe] "DoNotOpenInitialConfigurationTasksAtLogon"=dword:00000001 ; Do Not Open Server Manager At Logon [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ServerManager] "DoNotOpenServerManagerAtLogon"=dword:00000001 Also is it possilbe to disable these by using WAIK ?. Thanks in advance for any help given.
