Is there a way to get the first logon to use a domain account? My nLite image currently successfully joins a domain, but the first logon still uses the local administrator account (even when autologon is set to "none"?).

Alternatively, not automatically logging on at all would work.

If by "domain" you mean "enterprise", than you should review the EULA; nLite is not for corporate use.

Thank you for the articles but they do not address changing the first logon.

lordemperor, you might try adding the following line to the nLite.inf file, where xxxxx is your domain name. The file will be found in your I386 (or AMD64) folder compressed into NLITE.IN_. Extract (I use 7-Zip), add the line, then do a makecab on it and put it back into the folder before you create an ISO. Also, please respond to Sp0iLedBrAt's reply about using nLite in a non-private environment. The nLite license agreement does not permit business use. Enjoy, John.

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultDomainName",0x00000000,"xxxxx"

Another method would be to import them at the T-12 stage using cmdlines.txt.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"="DOMAIN"
"DefaultUserName"="USERNAME"
"DefaultPassword"="PASSWORD"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"ForceAutoLogon"="1"

If you already have a cmdlines.txt in your $OEM$ folder, place your reg there, and add this line.

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDT32.EXE /S tweaks.reg"

For greater detail you should RTFM.
