As I have mentioned, I and others use Unattended when joining a domain. Automatic logon to the local administrator account works just fine.
In short, I have no idea what you are talking about. True, automatic logon will not work if you encrypt the administrator password. See the documentation for EncryptedAdminPassword: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/resources/documentation/windowsServ/2003/all/techref/en-us/w2k3tr_u_guiunattended.asp In particular, the "Important" note at the bottom says: Important * If you use this entry to install an encrypted Administrator password during an unattended installation, Setup disables Autologon. So don't do that. - Pat Steven Piercy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > ok... - here is the trick... winderzXP wants to log to domain by def > when joined to one... so setting the autologon reg key for local > account jimmies it all up! > but i dont want 300 times the domain admin logon traffic while > deploying! is the best idea to join domain last? > > ah... and I bet unattended will not work right if the administrator > password in unattend.txt is encrypted (did that using ms' setupmgr) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
