Csimbi Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The [users] section looks good, it should work.I had problems with user creation when I used a non-clean source, see:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=136951Try using a clean source.

Csimbi Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Administrator|||False|Administrators||False|True|TrueThe first False means that the account will not be active. Did you try switching that to True?Also, I assume you are disabling the Administrator account for security reasons. Well, you should not. You should rename the built-in accounts instead:[users]Super_User|||True|Administrators|adminpass|False|True|TrueUnprivileged_User|||False|Guests||True|False|Falseuser|||True|Administrators|userpass|False|True|TrueAlso, since you did not specify any passwords, you should change the highlighted flags to False. Or, if you want to keep those True, specify the passwords at the highlighted locations. Edited August 16, 2009 by Csimbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 What's wrong with disabling the administrator account? I normally rename it but I was thinking of disabling it.I cant recall what it is right now but I came across a bug that manifests itself when you use nLite to rename the admin account. It had something to do with creating other accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csimbi Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) I have a gut feeling that it is not a good idea to disable the Admin account during setup; you can disable it later from RunOnceEx, using the NET command. Anyway, it's just a gut feeling, checking if that might be causing the problem.I did not have any bug with renaming the accounts - works like a charm here.

Guest Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 OKI'll try to recreate the bug but my memory blows. If I figure it out I'll post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Here's the bug...When you go to create a new user, it doesn't realize there is already an administrator account.You can either create another admin there or use Local Users and Groups in Computer Management to bypass the bug.

Csimbi Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 As far as I know, this is not a bug. You need to create another account with Admin privileges even if you did not change the name of the Administrator account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-man Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) the userpass is actually the password so there is a password presenti have enabled the admin and see if that works i disabled it because even tho i had the dont show admin on the welcome screen it was still showingeditok still no luck the only thing i can think of is its the ini file im loading now thats causing the problem its the only thing i havent changed, i have recopied the source from the original disk, removed the oem pre install folder, no matter what i do i seem to get the admin displaying on the welcome screen even tho the tweak isnt set to show i can only thing that is because its not creating the user as an adminreeditsolved should of showed u all the info in the last session_u.ini i had the user and computer name the same and it caused that problem Edited August 18, 2009 by b-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 As far as I know, this is not a bug. You need to create another account with Admin privileges even if you did not change the name of the Administrator account.I finally got around to confirming that last night in a VM and you are correct...not a bug.
