Ultimist

I'm wondering what the install order is, when Windows gets installed. Specifically, I'm referring to Win 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. What happens if I integrate updates, but some of those updates are for components that I will be removing (or have already removed) with Win Toolkit? How does the Toolkit (or the Windows installer) decide what to do with my choices? It seems inappropriate to install updates for things I'm removing, but then what if the update also fixes other things? Sorry, just a bit confused here. If I integrate an update for something already removed, or something I *will* be removing on this run, will integrating that update cause my removal not to work, or cause other problems since the thing it is meant to be updating is gone? Any insight would be helpful.

I've tried this before and had the same problem. Ricktendo, does your suggestion mean that one cannot use the built-in Administrator account and have the unattended.xml actually work, and that one must in fact create another admin account under a different name? I have this problem any time I've used the toolkit to try to use the built-in admin account. It doesn't stick and I end up having to create a user after setup completes. If one *can* use the built-in admin account in unattended, how do I ensure it will work?
