Sysprep help - I do not want to create a local user account

Question
-
When I start a PC with an image that was Syspreped, it prompts me to create a local user account and a computer name. I want the prompt for the computer name but I don't want to create a user account. I want it to automatically logon with local administrators account (which it does). How do I stop it from asking me to create a local account?

Essentially what you have to do is set the following registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE
UnattendCreatedUser REG_DWORD 0x1

I think just adding <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> to the unattend.xml will do the trick.Thursday, December 29, 2011 6:01 PM

This doesn't work...exactly. When I add <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>, I still get the user and pc anme info dialog. I also have to add <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> for it to supress the dialog. However, I want it to prompt for a machine name. How do I get it to just prompt for a machine name but not prompt/create a user account?
Also, How do I set the home page in IE to Google and set the default search provider to Google? I have the following in my unattend.xml but it doesn't work.
