Kumo Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I don't know why that I use RunOnceEx to install any applicationThe account always become Administrator.USER (Administrator dot computer name)If don't use RunOnceEx this problem will be solved.Someone can help me, thanks! show at VMware Workstation
TranceEnergy Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 wait a moment, do u mean you name your computer for USER?? "Administrator.USER (Administrator dot computer name) "
SIRThomasTMC Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 This happens when already a folder with the name exists, then windows adds ".whateverstandshere"So if u do not format ur drive, check that - before installing windows - the documents and user folder is deleted/renamed ...
TranceEnergy Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 If i have an account named administrator, and make a new one and a folder exist with administrator name, then it will be named administrator."computername".Which is basically what i said already.
Kumo Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 I login Administrator username success in OemPreinstall="No" but it is "Yes" the username wlil be other name (like Administrator.user) . Now I wanna use RunOnceEx to install my patches in Administrator username. How do it?I use nLite 1.4.8 and test in VMware Workstation.
TranceEnergy Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I think i had the same problem as you Kumo, need to check it in vmware later. I followed recipe on unattended.msfn also, and it was strange. But i have another plan for that.I'll just steal nlite's way of making administrator user with any name i want. =)

TranceEnergy Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Well, this is a bit daring, but perhaps you could permanently rename the default name of Administrator to Kumo if you search in the registry hive files?Dont know if that would work, but perhaps.Here is and old link on the topic. Worth looking into i guess.
darafat Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 hi,thanks to contact me, and sorry for the late answer i was on holiday lolanyway,if you want to use only the Administrator special account, how i did hereYou must know an important thing:The situation is that you cant just create an account named just as Administrator, because in the Documents and Setting forder and in the group policies there is already an account named as Administrator. So what we can do?Well we can just use this one lol But remember this is a special account, and you must not use it if you will create more then this account. If you use this account you must use only this one, because il you create a new account (even an Administrator one) the special account that you were using will disappear from the login, and you will not able to get in lol obviosly you can gat in from the safe mode (to recover you files or to delete the new account and force again windows to use the special one). That s all, if you use only an account, the special Administrator one works just like a charm. Dont worry to use it, it s just like any other Administrator account, and i used it for a long time Now if someone wants to change the name of the special account, and i mean the one that you see ad the start menu (at the top) here is how you do it:Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups -> User -> Administrator -> RenameThis will not rename the folder that is in Documents and setting lolFor to do it i thing that we have to write a little program that scans the registry and changes all the paths were appears "Administrator", and the Volatile Enviroments. I know that there ares some registry keys that are created randomly at every windows installation, but it s possible to detect them and so to use them (how i did for to uncheck, in the recicle bin, "confirm to delete").Here is the registry tweak that you have to put for to use the Administrator special account:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00;SETS AUTOLOGON KEYSET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon;ENABLES SINGLE LOGONREG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d sp4r4REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AltDefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d sp4r4REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v CachePrimaryDomain /t REG_SZ /d sp4r4REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d sparaREG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AltDefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d sparaREG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AutoLogonCount /t REG_DWORD /d 1REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DontDisplayLastUserName /t REG_DWORD /d 0REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v ShowLogonOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 1REG DELETE "%KEY%" /f /v DcacheUpdateYou can change:"sp4r4" -> Doamin Name"spara" -> User nameas you want.Note: the username "spara" will take no effect, because he will be overwritted an first logon, when appears (loading desktop..., outlook, etc). So in the Winlogon, and at the top of the start menu, you will see "Administrator". So you must change the domain name I used it at RunOnceEx Enjoy and sorry for my loooooooong and boring post, and for my really bad english Result:
TranceEnergy Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I have a better solution. Just use nlite's own nlitehelper app. Works perfect.
darafat Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) I have a better solution. Just use nlite's own nlitehelper app. Works perfect.lol and what does nlite more than change this few keys? Edited August 28, 2008 by darafat
