Action


Result
You are deploying Windows Vista, and have specified the screen display resolution in the unattend.xml file. However, you may find that OOBE is not setting the display settings as specified in the file.



Cause
This behavior is as expected. MSoobe changes the screen resolution to the best available resolution, or the driver preferred resolution. The settings specified in the unattended file would not take effect.



Resolution
You may configure the screen display setting after OOBE.
