Possible AutoLogon bug in unattended install...


Recommended Posts

Grettings all,

Well i have been experiencing something strange and i thought i would ask around and see if any of you have experienced this problem or if there is a known solution - or maybe i have just stuffed up.

ok here is the GuiUnattended entries i am presently using in my winnt.sif.

[GuiUnattended] ; this doesn't work

AdminPassword=b837e19483d00fe9aad3b435b51404eeacc35fb5d6dba92e662fe86a6dc59a84

EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes

AutoLogon=Yes

AutoLogonCount=1

OEMSkipRegional = 1

OEMSkipWelcome = 1

TimeZone=225

Now the issue that i have is simple - the autologon doesn't occur... I have done some testing and if i put a plain text AdminPassword in and turn of the Encryption the Autologon works perfectly. example of working settings below.

[GuiUnattended] ; This works.

AdminPassword="mypassword"

EncryptedAdminPassword=NO

AutoLogon=Yes

AutoLogonCount=1

OEMSkipRegional = 1

OEMSkipWelcome = 1

TimeZone=225

Does anyone have any ideas about this, has anyone else had this problem, or is there a know solution for this?

Cheers,

Felix

Taken from the documentation of [GUIUnattended]:

Important

Encrypting the Administrator password in the EncryptedAdminPassword entry disables AutoLogon.

So it's not a bug, it's a 'feature'.... :)

Sorry, but I have no tip on a workaround for this.

Hi Tobe,

Thanks - I must have missed that note in the docs.... it's a real bummer!
