hmmm so how would i do that? the reason it is already there is because you add the computer with the GUID so when the RIS is run it detects the computer name. any ideas? thanks

Hey, i am just wondering if anyone else is having these problems, and has a solution? When i run the RIS it installs, however it sometimes does not autologon, but it is set in the SIF [GuiUnattended] AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 this happens maybe 5% of the time, of machines that are re-ris, which means they were preveously RIS, and now again, so the computer account already exists. also the second problem is that it doesnt always want to join to the domain, BUT i think this may be to do with the account already existing in the domain. once logged in i can easily join it, it just doesnt want to join during the RIS Thanks for your help, it is much apreciated!!!!!

any ideas?

Hey, the installation was working fine, once installed, i put a reg entry runonce, so wen it 1st logs on the runonce runs and does what i want it to, the thing is if i use [Display] Vrefresh=85 The auto logon doesnt work, for autologon i use [GuiUnattended] AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 any ideas? it works ok if i dont set the refresh rate, could it be a compatibility thing with the monitors i use? all monitors and video cards are diffrent, and some it works, some it doesnt Thanks
