fiza Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I know there are various threads already and the solution may be in one of them but I am limited on time as I need to get my image process completed today. I have set up MDT/WDS to push out a Windows 10 1803 image. All looks good but once the image is pushed out and MDT first logs into the fresh image to continue the task sequence I get the first login animation. Is there any way to remove this during the deployment? I have a gpo set up for after deployment to remove first login animation for users logging in for the first time but would be good to remove it during deployment too.
Arthur Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 This is the registry setting you need to modify. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableFirstLogonAnimation"=dword:00000000 1
gmonks Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Or via Group Policy: Removal of first sign in user animation: Group Policy – Computer Configuration –Policies – Administrative Templates – System – Logon - Show first sign-in animation – Disabled

meakjoe Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I would think it would be something to do with an unattend.xml file potentially? We used to get all those animations until we made sure the unattend.xml was correct and being used, now it jumps straight to the Login Screen after completing the Task Sequence.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableFirstLogonAnimation"=dword:00000000 I didnt manage to fit this in earlier but I am now going back to it to tidy up the Reference Image. Where abouts in the Task Sequence should I add this as a Run Command Line task?
Arthur Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Where abouts in the Task Sequence should I add this as a Run Command Line task? After the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" step should be okay. Here's a command-line you can use in your "Run Command Line" step... cmd /c reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v EnableFirstLogonAnimation /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

Arthur Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Only using MDT/WDS here not SCCM. That explains why you can't find it. Sorry. Do you have an "Install Operating System" step in MDT? You should be able to put the reg.exe command above after that. Edited January 15, 2019 by Arthur 1
