How to disable "Set up "Windows"?

[Morpheus]

Hello,

I've built a Task Sequence to deploy Windows 7. The hole process works fine. Only that this Screen appears and i've to select a language.

After selecting a language the process proceeds and finishes well.

 

How to disable this screen?

You need to create an answer file (unattend.xml) in either WAIK (if SCCM 2012 RTM) or ADK (if SCCM 2012 SP1). The application where you create the answer file is called Windows System Image Manager. There are guides in this forum.

Or just configure the Apply Windows Settings -step in the task sequence.

Or just configure the Apply Windows Settings -step in the task sequence.

 

Do you mean the Step where the Admin Account, Product key, Timezone and so on?

This step is fully filled out and works fine. What I've to do additionally at this step?

I've still this Problem with the "Set up Windows" Screen. I created an unattended.xml File with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">

    <settings pass="windowsPE">

            <UserLocale>de-CH</UserLocale>

        </component>

    </settings>

    <settings pass="oobeSystem">

            <UILanguageFallback>de-CH</UILanguageFallback>

            <UserLocale>de-CH</UserLocale>

    </settings>

    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="catalog:xyz.clg" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />

</unattend>

What is still missing to pass this screen automatically?

I found the problem. Turns out I had to use generell language code in the UILanguage instead of regional variant.

As example for german:

<UILanguage>de-DE</UILanguage> instead of <UILanguage>de-CH</UILanguage>

same for English

<UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> instead of <UILanguage>en-AU</UILanguage>

<SystemLocale>, <UserLocale> and so on can be set to regional variant.
