MrJinje Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Easiest way is to specify a network location in your XML.<OOBE> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation></OOBE>But in case you prefer not to, there is another method. Try running this VBScript from oobeSystem > RunAsynchronous to kill it.Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")Do While Not Wshshell.AppActivate ("Establecer ubicacion de Red")Wscript.sleep 1000LoopWshshell.AppActivate "Establecer ubicacion de Red"Wshshell.SendKeys "%{F4}"Original source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 This was discussed previously here, and a solution (well, workaround) was found: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santac Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 easiest way is to set a GPO to: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Network List Manager Policies\All Networks. Change Network Location to "User cannot change location" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas or expertise on how to do this?And what about the <Path> attribute, i.e. where to put this vbs script within the installation directory structure?Thanks in advance,MikkaEdit:Instead of oobeSystem it seems specialize will do. But same problem here: How to refer back to the file? Edited September 13, 2010 by Mikka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTK999 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Easiest way is to specify a network location in your XML.<OOBE> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation></OOBE>Original sourcebut some reason even put <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> windows launch the select network pop up but if you put <NetworkLocation>Other</NetworkLocation> windows dont launch the select network well this work for me if you have a home network or work you can adjust settings in control panel after first logon.

I had the friggin window showing up again, no difference to Work/2, Home/1.(If I omit the attribute <SkipMachineOOBE>, the "select network location" window won't appear, instead I'm nagged for entering data for a new user account which I don't want either as it breaks my unattended installation.)Edit: Attached latest Autounattend.xmlAutounattend.xml Edited September 15, 2010 by Mikka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nice_guy75 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 If you install this on Virtual machine it will show that window anyhow. I have also tried making unattended.xml with rt7lite, but when you will install it on actual machine it will not pop-up.I have observed it personally.
