TruVue Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have recently gotten an RIS installation working on our test domain before we go ahead and push our implementation to the live server system. However, I am having a problem with the autologon feature. Previously, when I was only doing an unattended install from a CD, I had fixed the problem, but with the new RIS implementation, autologon fails with an invalid password. you can log in if you do it normally, but I want to get the autologin working so the computer can finish its installs w/o any user intervention.This is what I have in my ristndrd.sif file (the important parts)[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=LeaveAlone NtUpgrade=No OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=44efce164ab921caaad3b435b51404ee32ed87bdb5fdc5e9cba88547376818d4 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes AutoLogon=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=%TIMEZONE% OemSkipWelcome=1Do I need to turn off the encrypted password? Is there something left out here? Thanks much and any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fencer128 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi,I've had similar problems. Can you please confirm that it works when the password is unencrypted?Regards,AndyPS - I would clear the password from your post if indeed it is the real one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruVue Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 It's just a test domain, using nothing but 2-3 year old Dell desktops as win2k and 2k3 servers, not even connected to a network, only a 10/100 hub. We just test stuff on it before using the real servers. I'm not worried about the password I'll try the non encrypted pw and see what happens.

TruVue Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Guess windows doesn't seem to like that encrypted password afterall, worked like a charm after I removed it. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 That is indeed the problem...you can't AutoLogon with an Encrypted Password...says so in the ref.chm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The encrypted password, as I understand it, if for joining the computer to the domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
