i,ve followed the guide in Add Users & Auto Logon but when the time comes to logging on it stops for user input to select which user account to log on to i.e Administrator or (Myuseraccount), therefore my batch file wont run until i logon to Myuseraccount and manually double click start.cmd file which installs all me programs.

n e suggestions why i'm required to logon manually

n e help would be grateful thanx

post up your useraccount.cmd and your autologon.reg as well as their location and where theyre being called from (ie: guirunonce, cmdlines.txt, etc)

check ur winnt.sif once again.try different configurations.

my winnt.sif

[GuiUnattended]

AutoLogon = No

AdminPassword = *

TimeZone = 190

OEMSkipRegional = 1

OemSkipWelcome = 1

autologon.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

"DefaultUserName"="Owner"

"DefaultPassword"=""

"AutoAdminLogon"="0"

and my user.cmd

NET USER "owner" /add

NET LOCALGROUP Administrators "owner" /Add

REM Autologon first boot

REGEDIT /S %cdrom%\Install\autologon.reg

EXIT

with these config.autologon is working for me.(username----owner)

ooops sorry double post

bmn thanx for your help i've tried your configuration and it diden't work for me,

i'm posting my original configuration any tips would be welcome.

My winnt.sif located in my i386 folder

[GuiUnattended]

AdminPassword=*

EncryptedAdminPassword=NO

OEMSkipRegional=1

TimeZone=85

OemSkipWelcome=1

My aoutologon.reg located in $oem$ folder

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

"DefaultUserName"="test"

"DefaultPassword"=""

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

My useraccounts.cmd located in $oem$ folder

net user test /add

net localgroup Administrators test /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

REGEDIT /S autologon.reg
