During RIS-installation of Windows XP clients we want to use a default password for all computers. Ofcourse this is done like this: [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=mypassword But its readable for everyone, thats smart enough to locate the file. Tried to use EncryptedPassword-method, but then the password on the client cannot be used? Any other solution to make sure that no one but the admins to know the administrator password on the client-computer. Scenario : Windows 2003 RIS XP Clients
