Force Classic Logon

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

I know it is possible when you install Windows in an unattended mode with
winnt.sif. I think that the file is the same for RIS.

So, you have to add a section in your .sif file :
[Shell]
; NOT compatible with sysprep.sif
; Use classic start menu
DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes
; Use classic visual style
DefaultThemesOff=Yes

OK, so you have to change a registry key during the cmdlines time.

;Disable Welcome Screen and uses Classic Logon
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"LogonType"=dword:00000000

I hope that's what you need this time.
