Windows 7: The CopyProfile and DisableFirstRunWizard statements not work

balubeto · 05 Oct 2012

Hi

I have written this Unattend.xml file

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="generalize" wasPassProcessed="true">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</settings>

<DisableFirstRunWizard>true</DisableFirstRunWizard>
</component>
</settings>
</unattend>

saving it in the%WINDIR%\Panther directory.

So, I wrote the sysprep /generalize /oobe /rebootcommand to switch from OOBE to Audit mode.

I have noticed that my custom default profile has not been saved, and that the wizard of IE still there.

In other words, the <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile> and <DisableFirstRunWizard>true</DisableFirstRunWizard> instructions did not work. How come?

Thanks

Bye

The problem is this:

If I do not put the DisableFirstRunWizard statement, Windows copies the custom profile of the Administrator account in the default profile.

Instead, if I put this statement, Windows does execute neither CopyProfile nor DisableFirstRunWizard statement. How come?

So, how do I solve this?

Thanks
