Auto Logon Help Needed


Recommended Posts

Managed to work my way through the process of creating unattended XP disc everything is running fine when run through Virtual PC apart from the auto logon process. i created a autologon.reg file as follows:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

DefaultUserName=********

DefaultPassword=********

AutoAdminLogon=0

But when Xp is installed all i get is a logon for an Administrator and have to put in my administrator password to gain access.

My useraccount.cmd file reads as follows:

net user ******* ********** /add

net localgroup Administrators ******* /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

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

EXIT

Am i doing something wrong???? please help i'm a newbie and want to get this resolved before i attempt to add software & drivers to my unattended XP disc .

From The Unatended XP CD Guide:

"You may want to take note of one thing: If you want to create a user name that has spacing, for example John Doe, you should surround them with quotes. It would be like so:

net user "John Doe" asdf1234 /add"

It seems that you're using a space in your net user name. Are you enclosing it in quotes?

The space he has there is (or should be!) between username and password, ie. the context is:

net user username  password /add

so my guess is that's actually correct.

The problem is AutoAdminLogon=0. Set this to "1" and you should be set.
