Newb Question

[Spart]

My first attempt at creating an un-attened cd so plz bare with me. I', trying to create a xp home disk that will have a admin user account name of "User" and a blank password.

Here is what I have so far.

cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]

"useraccounts.cmd"

useraccounts.cmd

net user User * /add

net localgroup Administrators User /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

REGEDIT /S autologon.reg

EXIT

autologon.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

"DefaultUserName"="User"

"DefaultPassword"="*"

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

This set-up asks for a password at t-13 and then locks up on the welcome screen after a error beeps and flashes by to fast to see. Thx for the help in advance.

Remove the asterisks and it should work fine.

Thx that did the trick. I have a new problem now. The un-attended install I'm trying to make is a disk I will use to re-install alot of os's on differnet machines. When I re-install an os for someone I always use User and a blank password and let them go change the accounts in the user accounts later to what they want. When using the above set-up it creates the User named account fine but it auto-logs onto this account no-matter what I do. If I create a password for the User account it locks up on boot. And If I create a new account it still logs onto the User account. Any ideas on what to do? Thx again for the help.

perhaps you should try using a password then instead of leaving it blank (user/user for name and pass), or you could use the default "administrator" account and they can create their accounts from there.

The only problem is it auto logs onto the User account on re-boot everytime.

You could leave out the reg file. It is for autologon. Or set "AutoAdminLogon"="0".
