Hello everyone,

I am new to the unattended install process and also this forum. I have read through many of the posts and learned a lot of valuable information. Thanks!!

I am looking for help on the autologin feature. I need to install applications that reside on several different server and I need to have the workstation reboot and login with an administrator account in the domain. Is this possible? If so how?

Right now I can’t seem to get the autolong to work at all. I do have the machine joining the domain. I have noticed that local administrator account has been disabled. Is this by default?

My last question deals with video. After I compete the RIS install and I am waiting for the first login I see nothing but a black screen. I can hear the welcome wav file play but I get no video display. If I turn off the machine and reboot I get viedo whitout any problem. The only time I encounter the problem is after the first reboot of the RIS install.

Below is the .sif file I am using.

Any feedback or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
