user cant logon to domain after using autologon feature

[Tripredacus]

Well newsid supports batch scripting, so there's a start. Then you can modify your boot process by changing the default logins and calling runonce scripts. Not sure how to join a computer to the domain using a script tho.

You need to do a registry import that puts in that the EULA was accepted for the SID Changer, or else it won't be unattended. You can info on how to do that on MS or technet forums, which was where I found it. Here is a line from one of my batch files:

newsid /a /n

Well,

My question is, what's going on that you need to run newsid on these PC's if you're doing a fresh install?

Care to show us what's listed in the winnt.sif file?

Further to the point, why are you using a DVD when you are on a domain, why not use RIS, WDS or ALTIRIS even?

Just curious...

WDS = Windows Deployment Services. There are a multitude of topics in this, the Vista and WinPE sections of this forum. Check the stickies. WDS goes hand in hand with WAIK or OPKT.

Altiris (imo) is the greatest software invention to ever grace a corporate network. Unlike WDS, it isn't free (or free with your purchased Server license) but it is the most robust client management program I have ever used. I was very fond of it before it was purchased by Symantec, but afaik they haven't destroyed it.

So what you have listed in the first post is all the winnt.sif has?

There has to be something else going on that you need to use that sid program for all your new installs...

From what I can see in this file, all newly setup PC's join the domain with the same computer name of TEST?

At what point do you rename the PC?

yes, that is a problem. i cant get that naming part automated. so i take the com puter off the domain, put in workgroup, rename computer and sid with newsid, reboot,. put the computer back on domain

[TheReasonIFail]

Just let the install give it a random name and you should be able to rename it while on the domain.

I have this in my winnt.sif

ComputerName=*
