Ah, good.

Bear in mind that most people will want <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC> most of the time, rather than >3<

Thanks for the quick response! Upon further investigation it appears that I was missed the following setting:

I originally had this setting in place for Windows 7 so I must have removed it during initial DevPreview testing.

With this unattend.xml file I don't see any part of OOBE at all; the OS installs, I am automatically logged in (once), then I (manually) run another script which installs a bunch of apps.

When troubleshooting unattend.xml files, I find the setupact.log and setupact.err logs to be very helpful in explaining why a page wasn't hidden when I wanted it to be.

Hi Matthew,

Great blog post! I am working to automate the Windows 8 installation for the recent CP release. I am familiar with the ADK (formally WAIK).

Is there anyway to bypass the "Settings page" after Windows 8 is installed?

Similar to your XML file, I had the exact same "Hide" settings already applied during the OOBE.

Thanks,

Josh
