RE: [Unattended] Windows: get logged on username/SID?
So: a question to those experienced with Win 2K/XP: How to I find out if there is a user logged in on the console (Remotely logged in users might also be relevant - but that's for revision 2 (-: ) and, if there is, how do I set up a logoff script for that user? Or perhaps there's a way of setting up a logoff script for the machine? Or, better still, force the machine to re-boot when a user logs out? You could try a shutdown -l or shutdown -r. Type shutdown /? on the prompt for all options and syntax. Can also be used from a remote machine.

RE: [Unattended] How do you change default user settings?
3.) I don't want the Users Data directories to be under the system volume, Documents and Settings, Username,... Instead, I want those Directories to be created on D:\Data\%Username%... How can I do that via Unattend, so that after I have created a user, there is no need to change any settings? Try to modify your unattend.txt and add the lines marked with the * : (put them in the right section ;) [Unattended] *ProgramFilesDir=D:\Program Files *CommonProgramFilesDir=D:\Program Files\Common Files [GuiUnattended] *ProfilesDir=T:\Data\Documents and Settings\ Only problem is, when windows starts tot setup these drives (and the data path) have to be available. The D:\ drive should not be a major problem since it's local, but what about your T:\ drive ? I guess it's a mapped drive. I don't know if they are at that stage of the setup. You have to try. Or you can try an approach for changing the default user profile. Then at least the administrator has a profile on the C:\ (or D:\) and it might be possible to have the other user profiles on a mapped drive. But I'm seriously wondering if that is what you really want. MS uses roaming user profiles for this. If you tweak the local profiles to a mapped drive, I'm afraid your OS won't start when it has no local profile in case of a network failure/problem. You have to try I guess. Good luck.

RE: [Unattended] Unattended 4.0b Documentation
Here's my attempt at documentation. But I hope someone else may benefit as well. Definitely ! Thx. P.S. I apologize for the tar.gz.

RE: [Unattended] Obtaining values from a spreadsheet
Having a set of configs that people can just copy in to make things work would probably be helpful. But Others, like myself will want to mix and match. snip but will give the ability to manage entries to those that aren't comfortable writing perl. For me it has major advantages, so I'm supportive for these kind of sample's (untill I understand the perl part enough) This system (way of life ?) is capable of a lot, and it takes some time to figure it all out. Any help is welcome ;) GreetZ, Stephan --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

RE: [Unattended] Configure OS Questions
You could take a look at http://unattended.msfn.org/. It is more about unattended from cd, like in your case. And take a look at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm which has enough info to keep you busy till next week ;) Maybe this neat unattended project also can do the things you want, but since I'm quite new here I haven't found them yet. (did not get till that stage) Somebody else has to answer that part.

So far it looks like a great resource for automation machine setup. I apologize if this has already been discussed. I am creating a methodology for deploying new machines through an automated/unattended setup. I have an unattended install of XP SP1a with update rollup included working great. Now I am working on configuring the Operating System. How can I perform activities like adjusting performance options or setting page size? Anyone have any advice for these configuration activities?
