APPENDIX F
Additional Enhancements for Distributed Share Installations
NOTE: For additional information on any of these features, reference the Microsoft Windows
2000 Professional Deployment Resource documents located at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/library/resources/reskit/default.asp
Automatically Logging on After an Unattended Installation
AutoLogon
Value: Yes | No
Sets up the computer to automatically log on once with the Administrator account if set to Yes.
The default behavior is No. The key is not valid on upgrades.
Example:
[GUIUnattended]
AutoLogon = YES
NOTE: If you specify a password by using AdminPassword, that password is used when you
automatically log on. After the installation is complete, the password is deleted from the copy of
the answer file left on the computer.
If AdminPassword = * (is blank) and AutoLogon = Yes, the computer logs on only one time.
However, if AdminPassword = <password>, the computer logs on repeatedly and the non-blank
password is saved in the registry.
Suppressing the Welcome Screen When Logging into Windows 2000 Professional
This feature provides the capability to automatically suppress the Welcome screen when logging
into Windows 2000 Professional.
1. Using any text editor, create a file named WELC_OFF.REG and place the file in the
\\servername\sharename\I386\$oem$\C directory of the distribution share
2. Enter the following information in the file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Tips]
"DisplayInitialTipWindow"=dword:00000000
"Show"=hex:00,00,00,00
"Next"=hex:03,00
3. To insert the information into the registry, add the following lines to the UNATTEND.TXT
file:
[GUIRunOnce]
WELCOFF="c:\winnt\regedit /s c:\WELC_OFF.REG"
