KACE Product Support

Hi Guys, Im looking for some help.

Unattended XML created in WSIM (as the walkthrough unattended xml created by dell kace kept failing at oobe pass)

My Problem is that no Postinstallation tasks seem to want to run, I think this has something to do with my unattended xml, and im hoping somebody has the solution.

I have noticed that after Windows is installed it will

Reboot -> autologin to Administrator account (this is what i would like) (HOWEVER - the Administrator password will be not set, and the account will be disabled in AdministrativeTools->ComputerManagement ?? but i cant seem to understand why this is happening.

ontop of this, sysprep.exe is run automatically and awaits user input ? I know my unattended.xml needs a tweak and hopefully somebody can assist?

What changes do I need to make to automatically

Auto Login Administrator Account

Mark the Account Enabled.

Join the Domain

Disable the Firewall

Thanks! and Hope to Hear from somebody!

My scripted installation 

Run Preinstallation Tasks

--Upload Hardware Inventory

Run Scripted Installation

Run Postinstallaion Tasks

-- none

Reboot (Exit Boot Environment)

Run Postinstallation Tasks

--Office 2010 Pro SP1

Very Very simple, however these are my Observations!

Run Preinstallation Tasks

--Upload Hardware Inventory

Run Scripted Installation

++Windows 7 Installs

++Windows 7 Installation Reboots after Installing Updates

Run Postinstallaion Tasks

-- none

However Windows 7 installation reboots into Dell kace and proceeds to install the required drivers) ??? is this normal?

Reboot (Exit Boot Environment)

++Windows 7 Installation Resumes 

++Windows 7 Installation Finnishes

++Windows 7 boots up for the first time

++Automatically Logs in

++sysprep pops up ???

Run Postinstallation Tasks

--Office 2010 Pro SP1 (does not install)

--adobe flash (does not install)
