not sure how or why, but somehow in the cd i made, the auto administrator default login has been changed from "administrator" to "theadmin" and i can't seem to find where that is happening. it's obviously causing the build to fail as it cannot log in to complete.

anyone have any ideas where this is happening?

thanks

Are you using the oobe disabled dll file from gosh? I think Administrator is changed in the edited file if i remember correctly.

Blyster

likely, i've done quite a few changes like that. what file is that, does anyone remember so i can change it back?

can someone confirm this?? can default admin account name be changed by hexing syssetup.dll?

i would also be very intrested if this is possible

Yes gosh modified a few things in his dll.

Look here.

I fixed this and uploaded a working syssetup.dll that doesn't have administrator or guest renamed. Just redownload the file - http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/Files/Syssetup/syssetup.dl_

-gosh

did you hex edit syssetup.dll to change the administrator name? i am just curious because i would be intrested in changing by default at minute i have a security policy applied which changes it.

one more question is there anyother file that needs to be hexed/change a setting.. other than syssetup.dll??

i tried installing xp with gosh's [theadmin] sysetup.dll . but default admin name still was Administrator... anyone know a way to change that??

*bump*

did you redownload the file??????

-gosh

i didnot but my point is i want to change default admin name from "Administrator" to something else.

i'm using your your old file [theadmin one]but still windows shows as "Administrator" as default admin instead of theadmin

There's no way to change the default administrator name, yet. You'll need to use a program to change it later. I think administrator comes from syssetup.inf which you cannot modify.

thanx for the reply gosh
