Hello, we use User Profile Manager in our labs at the college where I work, and our project for this summer has been to make re-imaging these labs automated to the point where it's zero touch. Now we've got the User Profile Manager set up for silent install through the registry as detailed in the user guide, however when the computer reboots, there is still a popup saying "thank you for licensing" that you have to click in order to proceed to the rest of the windows startup. Is there any way to supress this pop-up window?

Hi,

The latest build of User Profile Manager (2.0.1026) added an additional registry value to enable silent installs. Details are in the latest http://www.forensit.com/Downloads/User%20Profile%20Manager%202.0%20User%20Guide.pdf - User Guide . See point 5 under "Automating License Activation"

Hi, I have that registry key entered. I double checked it just now for case sensitivity, and accuracy, and it appears to be exactly the same as the screenshot in the User Guide. Unless I'm missing something, you are referring to the "Silent(DWORD) = 1" key, which I have entered. Any other suggestions?

I just noticed that we have version 2.0.1025 installed in our image. Could this be the issue?

Yes, the "Silent" value was only added with 1026. (The other registry values were added earlier.)
