`Felix` Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 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=225Now 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=225Does anyone have any ideas about this, has anyone else had this problem, or is there a know solution for this?Cheers,Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToBe Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 (edited) Taken from the documentation of [GUIUnattended]:ImportantEncrypting 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. Edited July 29, 2004 by ToBe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCT Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 try making a .reg tweak 2 apply @ t-13 (look on http://unattended.msfn.org for the way 2 do this)maybe its something 2 do with there only being allowed so many characters in winnt.sif (i dont use a password so i dont have that feature)hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkPhoenix Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Duh.. You are aware that they are decryptable, aren't you? Not that I know, but I know that people can do it. Which means that I wouldn't put my password out like that. *heh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 doesnt really do anyone much good, i could say my password is "MCT12345" & have it change every reboot via a script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
