Can I use my admin account to logon on the first time ?

[wing_bbs]

During the unattended installation, I use oobeinfo.ini to creater an account called "HOME" that has administrator priviliege and also use a INF file ,which sets my accout should be the first logon account, to change related registry keys on T-13 time. But on the windows first starts, it always use administrator that created by system as the first logon account. Never used my account "HOME".

Why? I have searched a lot of related threads and followed their instructions. But still can not reach my aim.

Here is the batch file I use modified for your purpose:

@echo off

set AdminUser=Home

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "DefaultUserName" /d "%AdminUser%" /f

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "AutoAdminLogon" /d "1" /f

CLS

exit

Save as a bat or cmd file and add to commandlines

Personally I rename my actual original admin account (Lots easier)

[wing_bbs]

Thank you very much! I still have two questions.

1. When the registry key should be added to registry on the T-13 or other time ?

2. Can you mention more about the way how to rename the original admin account during unattended installation?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

I add it in during cmdlines so yeah at t-13.

As for renaming the Admin account it can be done at the same time.

Add the following line to cmdlines.txt

"renuser.exe Administrator Kelsenellenelvian" <-- change my name for the name you want!

And add the attached app into your oem folder.

Thats all!

[wing_bbs]

I will try it.

I added these registry keys to my SETT.INF that is used to change registry on T-13. But Nothing happened, On the first

logon Windows still try to use administrator to logon. And then, gave me a error message, declared that it could not find the administrator account. But during the windows installations, it still need me add administrator password. So strange. I am sure that SETT.INF is correct because other changes to registry have been added to the registry . Another thing, after the first logon happened, I checked the registy key and found out that the value of "DefaultUserName" still is ADMINISTRATOR. If I never change the value, on the each time, Windows will try to use ADMINISTRATOR to logon not my account and give me a promot the ADMINISTRATOR can not be found.

Please check my inf file and winnt.sif I have pasted them on the above. Thx

I think OOBEINFO.INI is not processed if you specify this directive:

UnattendSwitch = Yes

in WINNT.SIF, but I'm not sure. According to ref.chm:

Syntax UnattendSwitch = Yes | No

Values Yes

Instructs Setup to skip Windows Welcome.

No

Instructs Setup not to skip Windows Welcome.

I.e., "Windows Welcome" = "OOBE", and OOBEINFO.INI is processed by OOBE.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[wing_bbs]

You are wrong. Your method is useless.

[ponghy]

I'm not explaining "a method", only I'm explaining that probably OOBEINFO is not processed if the UnattendSwitch = Yes directive is set.

Can you explain better why it is 'useless'?

[wing_bbs]

I finally completed this. The method is that you should leave the value of "DefaultUserName" blank. So easy. The windows will automatically use "HOME" as the first time logon account.

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultUserName",0,""

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultPassword",0,""

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","AutoAdminLogon",0,"1"
