can't login

[tr4ck]

I can't seem to login into my XP. I created a unattended iso using nlite and I created a oobeinfo.ini file for a user.

Here is my winnt.sif:

I also have a autologin.reg file:

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

"DefaultUserName"="Vishal"

"DefaultPassword"=""

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

After XP installs and I try to login, I get a login error message and I can't login in. Anyone got any ideas?

[MCT]

is that info added 2 the registry?

it could be a command b4 it not functioning right

[tr4ck]

The only thing I have before autologin.reg is another reg file which has tweaks in it.

[MCT]

it could be a bad tweak, but i doubt it, maybe post your .reg file with the tweaks?

EDIT: under [GUIUnattended]

try adding

AutoLogon=Yes

AutoLogonCount=1

2 logon with the admin account once, so that all the tweaks can be applied

regards

[tr4ck]

Adding those 2 lines under [GUIUnattended] didn't work. I still get the password incorrect or domain incorrect thing and I can't login. I'll take out the registry tweaks and try it.

have u disabled fast user switching?? i had the same problem until i turned it off

EDIT

You can disable fast user switching through this reg tweak

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FastUserSwitchingCompatibility]"Start"=dword:00000004

[tr4ck]

Disabled fast user switching and its still the same thing. When it first tries to login it says "Vishal" as the username but it doesn't login me in saying the password is incorrect. But if I type "Administrator" and no password I can login in fine. And when I type "net user" in a command prompt it displays the "Administrator" account but not the "Vishal" account. Anything else I should check for?

Where are you creating the user? You need to create the user before you can use it. Post the code you use to create the user.

[prathapml]

Place a plain-text file (created with notepad) called "oobeinfo.ini" in this folder path:

$OEM$\$$\system32\OOBE\oobeinfo.ini

One common mistake people do is that of the file extension:

1. Verify that "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked in Folder Options.

2. Name the file you created with notepad as "oobeinfo.ini"

The type of document should be "All Files"

and the encoding should be "ANSI"

Those are the things to pay attention to in the "Save As" dialog box while saving "oobeinfo.ini"

3. Open that folder through the command prompt, and *VERIFY* once again (by using DIR command) that the file is called "oobeinfo.ini" and *NOT* "oobeinfo.ini.txt".

That's all. That should solve your problem.

Or, use my oobeinfo.ini (attached here) and customize it for yourself.
