Tutorials / Windows Unattended / Unattended Vista Network Location
The Vista unattend file bug that prevents the network location setting from working can be overcome with this workaround. In a deployment pass prior to OOBE use a synchronous command to set the following registry key.
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\FirstNetwork" /v Category /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
If this does not work then try the following alternative.
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\NewNetworks" /v NetworkList /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "" /f
