CJesson Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I am having problems with my win 2000 pro install stalling at the logon prompt. My applications install off the network so connecting to our Domain is important for the rest of the install to work. THe install works right up to login then stops. Then if I manually logon to the domain the install proceeds just fine. But I want it to login with the User of my choice on the Domain. NOT the administrator on the local computer. I have tried the NET USER meathod and it does not work for me. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?Autologon.regI changed the username and password for obivous reasons.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="XXxxxxx""DefaultPassword"="xxxxxx""AutoAdminLogon"="1"cmdlines.txt[COMMANDS]"useraccounts.cmd"useraccounts.cmdnet user XXxxxx xxxxxx /addnet localgroup Administrators XXxxxxx /addnet accounts /maxpwage:unlimitedREGEDIT /S autologon.regEXITand winnt.sif;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=yes TargetPath=\WINNT[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=xxxxx OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=4 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] FullName="xxxx" OrgName="xxxxxxx" ComputerName=*[Display] Xresolution=800 YResolution=600[Identification] JoinDomain=XXXXX DomainAdmin=XXxxxxx DomainAdminPassword=xxxxx[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\HotFix.bat %systemdrive%\install\8Install.exeAny help would be much appreciated. This is the last piece of the puzzle for me. If I can get this to work then the whole thing will proceed from start to finish without input from me. Thanks in Advance.Craig Jesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Maybe rerun Setup Manager and select Auto Admin Logon feature.Make sure you do not encrypt the password because it may cause autoadminlogon to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahi Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Have you tried DomainAdmin=domainname/XXxxxxx ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 You forget to set DefaultDomainName to autologon.reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbouchard Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I use WinPE for installs so am not certain if this would work when creating an unattended CD install, but couldn't you just logon with your local Admin account and map a drive using Net Use in the bat file? I do something similar in PE and have not had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 He just need to add DefaultDomainName... It is working, I use it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJesson Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 OK I have added DefaultDomainName to Autologon.reg and it still stops at the login screen. So it still does not logon onto the domain. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any other suggestions or possible errors to look for. mbouchard I like your idea I may try that if I still can't get this to logon.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="XXxxxxx""DefaultPassword"="xxxxxx""DefaultDomainName"="XXXXX""AutoAdminLogon"="1" Have you tried DomainAdmin=domainname/XXxxxxx ?Dahi is this put in the useraccounts.cmd? Also the username I am using is not an administrator account it just has access to the network drive where the applications are stored. Does it have to be an admin account?
