Hi. I have my oobeinfo.ini in $OEM$\$$\System32\oobe. In it I have 1 user:

[userInfo]

Identity000="Vishal"

I tested my unattended cd with vmware, when it tries to autologin it says "the system could not log you in" when I hit ok it logs me in as "Administrator".

In $OEM$ I got CMDLINES.TXT which calls autologin.reg whose contents are:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"DefaultUserName"="Vishal"

"DefaultPassword"=""

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Here are the contents of my winnt.sif file:

Am i missing something or is it something i'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

how are you creating the account?

no good putting it in oobeinfo.ini that is only for windows welcome

you have to run a batch file that adds the user account, then you can add the autologon.reg and it will autologon...

something like

@echo off
net user "SuperXP" password /add
net localgroup Administrators "SuperXP" /add
REGEDIT /S autologon.reg

you might want to add the password never expires option though

you should try and keep the FullName, ComputerName and UserName different though or you might run into problems
