tcsdoc Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 My unattended install is working with the execption of creating my user account. My account Sam is created but another account called Sam.laptop is also created. My customizations are going to the Sam.laptop account and not mine. Where did the Sam.laptop account come from? I hope this is enough info for someone to help me.

ardnelias Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 This behaviour occurs when you try to create an account with the same name as an existing account. For e.g if there is already an account with the name Sam - and if you are to add an other account with the same name, then windows appends the computer name to the account and it effectively becomes: Sam.laptop Have you tried creating a user with any name other than Sam?

tcsdoc Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Is this a quirk of using VMWare to test my builds? Maybe it's seeing the Sam account on my computer and adding the .laptop. I'm doing a clean installation with a formatted hard drive so there would not be another account available during the VMWare installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcsdoc Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Thanks to all who replied, the info helped my problem and my understanding how things work. I put a section in my batch.bat file to copy my favorites for my web browser. I removed the section and the problem went away. I'm going to find another way to accomplish this. I appreciate everyone's input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
