[UserData]
ComputerName = MYCOMPUTER
FullName = "Pat Coleman"
OrgName = "Woodgrove Bank"
ProductKey = "12345-ABCDE-12345-ABCDE-12345"

Specifies the computer name.

Syntax	ComputerName = computer_name
Value	computer_name
Registry subkey	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ ComputerName\ComputerName
Example	ComputerName = MYCOMPUTER
Comments	If the ComputerName entry is empty or missing, the end user must enter a computer name. If the value is , Setup generates a random computer name based on the organization name specified. If computer_name* is longer than 63 characters, the string truncates to 63 characters.

Syntax	FullName = string
Value	string
Registry key	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\RegisteredOwner
Example	FullName = "Pat Coleman"
Comments	If the entry is empty or missing, the end user must enter a name, so that Setup can finish unattended.

Specifies an organizationÆs name.

Syntax	OrgName = string
Value	string
Registry subkey	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization
Example	OrgName = "Woodgrove Bank"

Specifies the Product Key for each unique installation of Windows.

Syntax	ProductKey = "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"
Value	"xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"
Example	ProductKey = "12345-ABCDE-12345-ABCDE-12345"
Comments	Each x is either an alphabetic character or a number. Requires the quotation marks and the hyphens. Important You must always specify a value for the ProductKey entry. The Product Key that you use to activate the installation must match the number on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker that accompanies the retail product or that is physically attached to the computer case by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Standard licensing agreements specify that you can use a given Product Key only to activate one installation of Windows XP on one computer. Windows Product Activation (WPA) enforces this requirement. If you preinstall Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 family under a volume license agreement, consult your specific license agreement to determine the number of installations allowed per Product Key. When using the Unattend.txt file, this entry assigns the same Product Key to all computers on which you install Windows XP or a member of the Windows Server 2003 family. When using the Unattend.txt file, enter the ProductKey in both the Unattend.txt file and the Sysprep.inf file. Sysprep deletes the ProductKey entry in the Unattend.txt file and replaces it with the entry specified in Sysprep.inf.
