Execute the command line commands unattended
The unattend.xml response file with the element /FirstLogonCommands/
SynchronousCommand provides you with the option to automatically execute commands
unattended when Windows first runs up. However, to do this, you must also activate the
autologon mode with the administrator account.
You can define as many FirstLogonCommands as required. You define the sequence in which
the commands are executed in the element /FirstLogonCommands/SynchronousCommand/
Order
In the response file used as example, two different command line commands are executed
with FirstLogonCommands/SynchronousCommand:
● Directory D:\Install released for the administrator account
● Activate the PCU Installer using the response file
Sample response file
Because settings are always user-specific, only a sample response file can be provided as an
example:
● Sample answer file for PCU 50.5 Windows 7 in the Service&Support Portal (http://
support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/69154062)
Adapt this file to your requirements.
