RIS Disabling Admin Account

[bigolyt]

Im using RIS to rollout images of XP Pro to PC's and came across a problem with the admin account being disabled per a line in the riprep.sif. After researching I found that I had to REMOVE the line:

DisableAdminAccountOnDomainJoin = 1

Thinking that this would resolve it, I went ahead and ran the RIS setup again and voila same thing. Disables the local admin account. Now, I know there are ways around this but the whole point of RIS is to somewhat make this simple. Any help would be GREAT!

I have removed the * for the ADMIN PASSWORD and left it blank to where it says " " instead of "*". That asks me to enter a password once it boots up which is fine, but when I give it one I get a The Domain Could Not Be Accessed Due To Networking Problems. Im at a loss....

Here's my riprep.sif file:

floppyless = "1"

msdosinitiated = "1"

My RIS folder is, and thats where the riprep.sif is

The only other folder and where the ristndrd.sif resides is, I also removed the line from the ristndrd.sif as well.

\\RISSERVER\REMINST\Setup\English\Images\WINDOWS\i386\templates

replace DisableAdminAccountOnDomainJoin = 1 with enableAdminAccountOnDomainJoin = 1
