Upon first logon to Windows 2000, the Configure Your Server wizard starts.

If you perform an unattended install, you can prevent this behavior by editing the Hivedef.inf file:

1. Copy the I386 folder to a distribution share.

2. Navigate to the Hivedef.inf file and make a backup copy.

3. Use Notepad, or any text editor,  to find the line that reads:

HKCU,"SoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSetupWelcome","srvwiz",0x00010003,1

4. Change the value at the end of the line from 1 to 0.

5. Save the change.
