Hello, Can someone please help me with the line I need to add to my RISTNDRD.sif file to enable the local administrator account after a CD based install?

I have 2 images 1) XP pro sp 2 and 2) Win2kpro sp4 and I'm using W2k3 server.

When I run an RIS PXE install for XP pro, the local administrator account is disabled. Can anyone tell me where I can add a line to my .sif to have this account enabled after the install?

Also, this account does not get disabled automatically in my W2K install, even though I'm pretty sure the .sif files are the same.

This would be of great help!

Thanks!!!

Your install should not do this by default. Try running setupmgr and creating a new SIF file, or post a copy of your current SIF file. Don't forget to use the CODE tags. Also, welcome to MSFN!

sorry posted incorrect info

Remove the line starting with disableadminondomainjoin from your SIF file(s). That is on by default after Windows XP Service Pack 1 and in Windows Server 2003.

Thanks for the help! I removed the line disableadminondomainjoin and it worked.
