edbro Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I want to add myself as a user automatically with useraccounts.cmd and autologin.reg as referenced in the MSFN guide. How do I specify no password? Do I use "DefaultPassword"="" or "DefaultPassword"="*" in the regfile? In the cmd file do I just leave a space after the name; "net user John /add"? Or, should I place a single asterisk there or delete the space all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edbro Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 Okay thanks. The one and only user is myself. My current setup does not require a password and I also have it set to autologin. This was achieved using TweakUI after install. I just wanted to recreate that during my unattended install. I guess with autologin, having a password is no big deal.

aknott Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 if it works on yours it's ok, i was sure (after seeing many posts and www sites) that you had to put a password in the DefaultPassword stringjust for the comprehension is the "No Password User" the real string you use or it means a username ?If I'm wrong happy to learn something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcemanND Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 "No Password User" can be any valid user name on the machine and there is no space between the quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creopard Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 NOIt is not possible to use autologin without a passwordYou must use oneHmm, seems to work fine for me. here too...but you can't create accessible network shares in SP2, if you didn't specify a user password before (only worked with SP1). SP2 just allows password protected shares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
