Auto Admin logon...

[codeblue]

I've read various posts using different methords to auto log on, but im still in the dark

Here's my Winnt.sif:

;SetupMgrTag[unattended]    UnattendMode=FullUnattended    OemSkipEula=Yes    ExtendOEMPartition=0    OemPreinstall=yes    UnattendSwitch="yes"    TargetPath=\WINDOWS    WaitForReboot="No"    Repartition=Yes    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore    KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"    Hibernation=No    FactoryMode=Yes
OemPnPDriversPath=""
[Data]    MSDosInitiated="0"    UnattendedInstall="Yes"    AutoPartition=1
[GuiUnattended]    AdminPassword=************    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO    OEMSkipRegional=1    TimeZone=85    OemSkipWelcome=1
[userData]    ProductKey=*****************    FullName="bl"    OrgName=""    ComputerName=Deep

I rename the admin account using NetUser

NetUser Administrator /name:Barry
ECHO Setting Admin name....REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Registry\adminlogon.regECHO.

I want XP not to ask for the admin password first logon so my unattended install can continue...unattended.

what's in your adminlogon.reg file?

I'm not sure, but sometimes when I rename a user from within Windows, it still retains the old name, but the new just becomes like an alias.
