Autologin as Adminstrator with Windows 7 x64 HELP needed

[clivebuckwheat]

Hi,

I am trying to auto login as Administrator via the sysprep.xml file after imaging to do some maintenance tasks. After imaging the stations do not login as Administrator. Here is the scenario. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

1.I have set Autologin as true in the sysprep.xml file using the Administrator account and the password.

2. I have also activated the Administrator Account via the sysprep.xml file.

If I set Autologin to true in the sysprep.xml, sysprep crashes with this error below.

"Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [oobeSystem]. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]."

Lastly, when I set Autologin to false in the sysprep.xml file then sysprep completes with no errors BUT the machine doesn't Autologin.

What can I do to troubleshoot and ultimately fix this issue?.

Check the setupact.log file...

You can check this working x86 sample, x64 has the same settings
