Auto-logon in image


Recommended Posts

I have made a nice litte unattended installation now but I have somehow specified that the installation should try to log on automaticly and with the wrong password. This gives me an enoying err msg saying that the password was incorrect.

How to I remove this from my image/winxp installation files location?

I've tried a lot of things now but there is no such file in my unnattended image. And It still complains when i boot it up

"Windows Security Message"

Failed to login to the Windows Workstation.

Make sure your username and connection information are correct, then type your password again.

NOTE: Windows passwords are CASE-SENSITIVE chack the Caps Lock state.

I have to change something else in the image but I don't know where...

It looks like this is the culprit, in novellclient.reg:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="0"

Change the zero to one, and try again.

That's because, (according to the above .REG) you have disabled AutoAdminLogon in windows, but enabled it thru the Novell client. So probably there's some conflict in the settings now.

Other than that, I hope all the "XXX" and "username" values seen above are changed to the actual values, in the .REG that you use.
