Tip for fixing admin autologin

[matthestar]

Hi guys.

Im not sure if this will help but it worked for me.

A number of people seme to have a problem with the system auto logging in even if they choose NOT to from the unattanded settings.

Bassically what you need to do is run nLite as normal, then when you reach the ISO creation step edit the WINNT.SIF file from the I386 folder with Notepad.

Find this

AutoLogon="Yes"

AutoLogonCount=1

and change it to

AutoLogon="No"

AutoLogonCount=0

Save the file and then pop back into nLite and complete the ISO creation.

Im not sure if it is a bug or just something random, but even when I select NO and 0 from nLite (the default settings) it still creates YES and 1 in the answer file.

Hope this helps someone!

Have you tried v1.2.1 and selecting Autologon to None?

Yep it's 1.2.1 that I used I'll make another CD and see what happens. Maybe it was just a freak incident.

Right, I've just made another CD with selecting Autologon as "None". The answer file still had it stored as "Yes".

So I changed this myself to the correct value, yet the system is still logging in as Admin.

If I only use nLite to slipstream drivers, and create the WINNT.SIF file manually with the same info (copy and pasted) from nLite's WINNT.SIF file, then it all works fine.

Any ideas?

PS. This is using nLite 1.2.1 on a SP2 source.

Yep i created an account with nLite and set it to auto logon forewer.

But After i install XP i can see Administrator user name in start menu. And my costumized user not created.

Below is what nLite creates except I have changed AutoLogon to "No" and the count to 0. And then it still only works if I ONLY slipstream drivers and nothing else.
