Autologon 1 time only?

[gai-jin]

I'd like to have the system set so that it will auto-logon once to install all my programs, but then not autologon from there on out. (especially since I change the admin user password after I log in for the first time).

Right now, to get the auto login, I'm using:

autologon.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="Owner"
"DefaultPassword"=""
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Any suggestions would be welcome.

How do you do it in winnt.sif?

Here's what mine looks like:

;SetupMgrTag

%systemdrive%\install\cd2.cmd

put this under [GuiUnattended]

AutoLogonCount=1

[gai-jin]

and then I can do away with the other autologon reg file?

Yes. But then (using winnt.sif for autologon) only the admin account get apps and reg-tweaks.

If you want to stay with the .REG method you started out with, you might want to read this post - info (my post half-way down that page....)
