Unattended and remove ei.cfg

[RichardPullman]

Hi WinToolkit Users

i try to make an new Win7-DVD with removed ei.cfg and all works fine. I can choose the windowsversion (home, pro, ...) but how can i create an Autounattend.xml with all the trialkeys?

Home -> Homekey

Pro -> Prokey

and so on ...

i read some keywords like aik, wism, wim-manager.

i also read the article "Create your own Autounattend.xml All-In-One (x86/amd64)" but i only need the Autounattend.xml for x64.

I create 4 Autounattend.xml with only different serials but what now? I cant put all of them in the DVD-Root.

Is there a good easy way to realize this? THX 4 help

(sorry. i think the answer is here in the forum but i dont find them)

Yes!

You need one Autounattend.xml file and add inside:

<OOBE>							   
<HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>										
<SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>					   
</OOBE>

The default key will be installed for each Windows 7 version you choose!

Cheers

Hi myselfidem

thx 4 your post. i google <SkipMachineOOBE> and found this

Important

This setting is deprecated.

SkipMachineOOBE should be used only in a test environment, and you should never ship a computer with the SkipMachineOOBE setting

configured to true.

If you use this setting, Windows Welcome will be skipped, and any settings that a user selects during Windows Welcome will not be

configured. For example, user-account creation, language, and time-zone settings will not be configured. Some Windows features

may not function, as they depend on Windows Welcome values such as ProtectYourPC, which does not include a default value.

So this option ignore my answerfile?

[myselfidem]

Yes, this value is deprecated!

It's a workaround...And this option doesn't ignore your answer file!

But if you want you can download "SetProductKey" on my sig below to integrate all Windows 7 version default keys (need time) and look at examples included inside the folder, to use Autounattend.xml files without keys!

Enjoy

i tested the <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> option.

1. i create a normal Autounattend.xml with these settings

(username and password not set)

2. Add the <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> option

Problem: but now the setup dont ask for username and userpasswort.

is there maybe a other method i can try without 3. party software only with WinToolkit?

[myselfidem]

You need to post your new questions inside the right thread!

Cheers

[RichardPullman]

but my problem is the same. just install the default keys unattended.

[myselfidem]

You need to add a user account and a password!

[bphlpt]

If I understand what he is asking, he wants to set up everything but username and password in the Autounattend.xml so that the only thing that is asked for at install is just username and password, but he does want those asked for.

Cheers and Regards

[myselfidem]

Thanks bphlpt!

It seems your are right, I haven't well understood.

@RichardPullman

Try to select also: Skip Auto-activation

Regards

[RichardPullman]

@bphlpt

yes that exactly what i want. and i think im not the only person with this "remove ei.cfg and add keys for all 4 versions"-problem

@myselfidem

sorry that i dont explain that.

Skip Auto-activation? hhmmmm? i have an idea. mom i try this.

[RichardPullman]

i can only check the "Skip Auto-Activation"-option if i check the serial-key too.

i edit the Autounattend.xml manual and insert this code:

<settings pass="specialize">
  <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-UX" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
		    <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation>
	    </component>
	    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-UX" 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">
		    <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation>
	    </component>
    </settings>

but no success

[myselfidem]

It seems an issue with WinToolkit or a condition between Skip Auto-Activation and default serial key!

Tested without problem many times with an customized Autounattend.xml file (AIO):

http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/9178-create-your-own-autounattendxml-all-in-one-x86amd64/page__st__80#entry86013

Try to use your customized Autounattend-xml file with WinToolkit and let us know.

Thanks

[myselfidem]

You can also try to use SetProductKey on my signature below to integrate all keys inside your Windows 7 customized!

And you don't need to add the key inside your Autounattend.xml file!

HTH
