NET USE - Create user with encrypted password

[opal_1970]

Hi all,

when I use NET USER to create a user during an unattended setup is there a possibility to encrypt the password (similar to the encrypted password for the Administrator account in the WINNT.SIF)

[GuiUnattended]

AdminPassword=9e6a78b675551...

EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes

Failing that, a workaround would be to enter a dummy password that needs to be changed at first login. However, I was also unable to find a tag for the "create user" command that allows you to specify if the password needs to be changed at first login. The /passwordchg:{yes | no} tag only specifies if the user can change his password, in my case it needs to be set so that the user must change his password.

EDIT-> While we are at it, would it also be possible to encrypt the product key under [user Data]?

[userData]

ProductKey=JD2JP-9XC8V-...

Forgive me if this topic has already been touched, I googled and searched here but didnt really find anything of use.

Thanks for your help.
