Restarting after adding RunOnceEx entries

[cartman02au]

Hi all,

I am currently using [GuiRunOnce] in WINNT.SIF to place entries into the RunOnceEx part of the registry, add a new user and then reboot (so that RunOnceEx kicks in).

The problem I am having is that my restart command (using a batch script, as for some reason I cant call sahutdown -r -t 0 from GuiRunOnce) isn't executed. Windows starts, then on the next startup the RunOnceEx entries are ran.

The other issue I have is that I cant get the autologin to persist. It works once, then asks for a username and password every login after that.

Here are the relevant sections:

WINNT.SIF

[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\install\install.cmd
%systemdrive%\install\adduser.cmd
%systemdrive%\install\restart.cmd

Restart.cmd

shutdown -r -t 0

adduser.cmd

net user Owner /add
net localgroup Administrators Owner /add
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\autologon.reg
EXIT

autoloon.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="Owner"
"AltDefaultUserName"="Owner"

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Thanks in advance,

C02.

hi,

as per restart try to modify this to fit your needs

shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."

as per autologon, try to set password on the user while adding the user from adduser.cmd. Don't forget to add password to your autologon.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="John"
"DefaultPassword"="asdf1234"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Had already tried these with no luck

The shutdown command works when I use it in RunOnceEx, but doesnt work from GuiRunOnce

not reallu sure you can use shutdown command from winnt.sif file ...

Where is the best place to add the registry entries?

[valter]

make a file called registry.reg and call it from runonce.cmd
