Error Logging on

[VCH]

Hello.

After looking around, it seems I couldn't find a solution to my problem in other threads , So I apologize in advance if I missed a solution posted somewhere for my problem.

In short: While attempting to log on the following error comes up:

"The specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted"

Originally when this error came up, I went back and made sure it was set to "Workgroup" (In all caps too)

So I decided to register and post a thread in hopes of someone having a solution, which will probably be a simple mistake on my part.

Alos, I apologize If I posted this in the wrong place. I was kind of split on between this and the original "Nlite forum"

Thanks in Advance.

(Made sure not to forget my Last Session Note - I borrowed someone elses originally when making this )

To begin with, the latest version of nLite is 1.4.9.1, and you are using a release candidate of v.1.0. I don't even recognize some of the lines inside the file. So download the latest version for next time

Otherwise, I don't understand why you are using XP with SP1, and not integrating SP3. I didn't see entries that would be related to you not being able to log in. On the contrary, Autologon is enabled. If you've created a user, can you login with the Administrator account?

You created a username(s) with empty name(s). That's asking for trouble.

Also, reduce the disabling of services, especially the networking ones. NetLogon, NtLmSsp, RpcLocator(maybe) SamSs are especially critical for the first boot. In fact, it would be better if you don't touch any services at first.

And what Sp0iLedBrAt said.

Ah first off, It seems I did post this topic in the wrong forums. So I apologize for that.

Didn't realize I was using an earlier version, not sure how that happened.

As for the services, this is probably karma for using a "random" last session. You wouldn't happen to have any LS (s) I could use as a startoff? For the moment,I'll start off from scratch.

As for SP3, I probably wasn't thinking, so I don't have an excuse for that, lol.

Thanks for the Help, I'll keep you guys posted on how it comes out.

Here is one that I use as a base, doesn't remove too much and nearly everything works. Adjust languages to your needs.

Hmm, so while doing a new a installation, a few errors came up. Such as

"Data Redundancy check", but the program itself proceeded as normal, though it took a bit longer thought.

But sadly the same error in the OP came up not letting me log on.

ALSO: My created users won't show up on the logon, only Administrator, I may of did something wrong.

It may be the Windows XP Installation CD itself I'm using.

I'm trying out your Last Session atm. I'll keep you guys updated.

UPDATE: I got an error saying ERROR! - tcpip.sys during the process (It's still processing though) ( It triggered my Avast which moved it )

UPDATE 2 - Same error using both Sessions "

"The specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted""

Heres my original last session I started from scratch on.

Avast seems to stop nlite from doing its file copy from the CD, that's most probably the root cause of your problems. Set an exclusion in avast or disable it temporary.

Well, besides Avast being a minor problem. More problems are coming up.

I'm using Both Oracle Virtual Box and VPC to test my installations.

The problem is though my Installations are set to Unattended, it boots up into the Installation process.

I'm unsure if its a problem with the Installation or the Virtual Programs. I'll guess I'll keep messing around and checking back for any solutions.

Thanks for the Help, I'll keep you updated.
