So I just had a annoying one, Updated to NTLite 2.3.3.8585 from a version from the end of December 2021, and I had what I thought was a operational XML image setup in NTlite, that I had used in December.
One of my computers needed a reinstall, so went into NTLite and updated to the latest windows updates, updated the Firefox msi to the latest. Believing everything should be fine. Set NTlite to creating the image. Tried installing the ISO and Lo and behold to my surprise the install ended on a login screen? Try again, with the same result? So start investigating. I know what I changed, so I start checking the windows update KB files (they turn out to be fine) check the firefox MSI as it has messed things up in the past (The firefox installer is operating as intended)?
So Bemused I start pulling out each update, trying to pear down the problem. Then start going though the XML file, looking for problem's referencing older XML's that I know that worked properly. After pulling everything out, and cross checking things. I go look in Unattended, everything looks fine? On a whim I change the: "Skip Welcome Center (SkipUserOOBE)" from grey (which is suppost be default?) to red (which sets it to False), and change: "Skip Windows Welcome (SkipMachine00BE)" from True to grey.
Try running the ISO though NTlite again. Then installing the ISO onto a machine, it gives me a account creation prompt now, and allows login.
But I don't see screens that normally popup when Skip Windows Welcome (SkipMachine00BE) is set to grey default?
To me it seems that the settings that are set to Grey (default) appear to be being passed over? So if these two setting are doing this are there other settings that are doing the same? Which may cause issues down the road?
I really don't know?
I'll add the XML, for you to look over, I don't have the older one that did not work.
Thank you for your insight into this.
