Winnt.sif file issue..really need help :-(

[jonbennett]

Hi everyone. I've recently been working on automating installation of an OS.
However I want my OS to autologon which is fine with an admin account but it
doesnt work with user account.

Is there any way of adding a user account without putting it on the disk, as
I want to give the user the option of changing usernames, where as on the
disk it will be set. I have tried the following in my winnt.sif file:

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0="net user jon jonpassword /ADD"
Command1="net localgroup Administrators jdoe /ADD"
%systemdrive%\install\Setup.exe

Basically i'm trying to create an account, then autologon with that account
and proceed to running the Setup.exe. My setup.exe works just fine and
installs but i'm struggling to solve this user account issue.

My winnt.sif file is located on floppy, so the user can modify it when need
be.

One possible idea I have is to put a batch file on the floppy and call this
file from the winnt.sif file if thats possible?..

Then on next login it would appear as Jon Bennett. Just as a guess
