That command should work, as long as it is run immediately before the name of the admin account is changed.
This is what I do: In _meta -- bottom="joindomain.bat" -- In joindomain.bat -- ::(remember, these run in reverse order) :: Join the computer to the domain with the current computer name and reboot :: Which should be assigned during setup by site/hardware.csv and site/config.pl todo.pl "netdom join %COMPUTERNAME% /domain:pyramidbrew /userD:domainadmin /passwordD:secret" .reboot :: Set the system to logon as domain named local admin todo.pl "autolog.pl --logon=1 --user=localadmin --password=secret" -- In other words I tell the system that the next time it reboots to autologon with "localadmin" and "secret". And then I join it to the domain. This works for me because my domain policy changes the name of the local admin account as soon as the computer is joined to the domain. I run this in "bottom" because once the computer is joined to the domain it doesn't autologon perfectly, you have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL (but it will automatically logon using the username/password specified in joindomain.bat) -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard.

Here is an excerpt from my base.bat: :: Disable "System Restore" during install. todo.pl "autolog.pl --logon=1 --user=localadmin" "srconfig.pl --disable" Is my syntax wrong? I don't mind changing install.pl, but I don't know where to change it.
