Post-Install New Mac Setup

Question

After netinstalling our 10.5 macs, we're seeing the startup screen (registration, new admin accounts, etc), even though we've suppressed this in the base image, and added it again to the System Image Utility Workflow (out of desperation to get this to go away).
Here is what we've executed on the base image (which works fine if we do a local restore, like ASR or block restore):
touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
touch /Library/Receipts/.SetupRegComplete
Since we just threw the image into the netinstall workflow, it was obviously overridden, so we added the scripts to the netinstall workflow as post-install items. It still doesn't work, and properly suppress the registration/accounts setup process.
What could we be missing here?
Thanks,

Answer 1

Brian,
+So (to reiterate), you've installed, configured, and booted into this system (to insure that the system has had an opportunity to do whatever it needs to do). Then you imaged the volume, presumably in TDM, and when you restore this, it wants to create a new user?+
Yep!
If we use the image on a mac booted into firewire disk mode (or ASR multicast), and then reboot that mac, it starts up and does not go through the registration routine - which is good.
+How was the source volume created? (Clean install, upgrade from something?)+
We used instaDMG - clean and no upgrade.
+Did you make the image using the Assistant mode (select the volume and build a "NetInstall")? Or use the workflow mode? If workflow... what other actions did you include?+
We selected the volume and chose to do a netinstall in a workflow mode.
We have:
1) Define Image Source
2) Enable Automated Installation (choose volume)
3) Create Image
4) Add Packages and postinstall scripts (script was commands i put in my first post)
The weird thing is that it works fine when we use a restore technology other than netinstall (ASR multicast, Disk Utility block copy, etc).
Thanks,
