AutoLogon=Yes

[Express]

Hi All,

My situation is when I use the AutoLogon=Yes it doesn't login after reboot, see below part of my winnt.sif and if you can direct me on my mistake i really would appreciate it.

Am I missing something, or is the problem elsewhere?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think, I read something, that using Autologon and an encrypted password doesn't work together.

You could leave the password encrypted and use the method described on unattended.msfn.org to create another user account to autologon. If you use this method, you can use the alternative account to do the installation and delete this account at last shutdown, so that administrator is the only existing user ( apart from potentialy other created user accounts). If you do it this way, you can leave his password encrypted in winnt.sif.

Indeed, login doesn't work with an encrypted password. I had the same trouble when I was starting up with unattended installs.
