One thing to add, if it is a domain-joined machine. Make sure you don't have policy forcing Ctrl+Alt+Del, A Logon Banner or disabling autologin.
Any of those things will break MDT's ability to recover. Changing the administrator account name is also known to cause issues, but can be worked around.

For custom task sequences, that's not always the case. Fortunately, there is exactly one thing that MDT needs: The local Administrator password. Set the "AdminPassword" variable to contain the appropriate value and the rest should work. (It will find the name of the administrator account automatically, in case it was renamed.)

MDT uses the local administrator account during an OS deployment. But in your case it's going to run under the user's credentials. It isn't like SCCM which runs under the system context. If you want some good examples take a look at Johan Arwidmark's hydration kits. The sequences he has created use a domain auto login to install all the software.

The software installs fine and the machine reboots properly but the process becomes stuck at the windows login screen once the machine has booted back to windows. Once I manually login the deployment process continues to the MDT final summary. How can I make MDT automatically re-login ? Doesn't MDT create its own TempUser account ?
