How do I automatically skip the wireless connection selection stage of a Windows 8 scripted install?
I'm facing an issue where after the Windows 8 OS deployment stage of a scripted install occurs to systems (w/ wireless adapters) the initial auto login into Windows requires that the user MANUALLY skips or selects a wireless network to connect to. This forced interaction is halting my scripted installations before postinstall tasks can run. How do I automatically acknowledge this stage of the initial login so that my scripted installs can be completely unattended?
Thanks in advance

Put this line in your answer file:
<HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>
normally these six OOBE entries should be useful regulary
<OOBE>
<HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
<HideLocalAccountScreen>true</HideLocalAccountScreen>
<HideOEMRegistrationScreen>true</HideOEMRegistrationScreen>
<HideOnlineAccountScreens>true</HideOnlineAccountScreens>
<HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>
<NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation>
</OOBE>
once the scripted install completes, I don't have IE shortcuts (on tiles or on desktop). if I remove that line and run the scripted install again, I do have them. - dperlberg 9 years ago
