Howdy--

There's probably a better way to do it, but I wrote a javascript script
to rename local accounts.  I just put it in my \bin directory add a call
to it in the _bottom section of my unattend.txt file like so:

cscript %z%\bin\renameacct.js Administrator SomeOtherAccountName


-Matt

vv-- Begin Script (enableacct.js) --vv

/***********************************************************************
********
* renameacct.js
*
*   Renames a local user account.
*
*   Usage:
*
*   cscript renameacct.js <OldAccountName> <NewAccountName>
*
\***********************************************************************
*******/

var computerName, oldUserName, newUserName;
var network = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network");
var computer, user;

oldUserName = WScript.Arguments(0);
newUserName = WScript.Arguments(1);

// Get the local computer name
computerName = network.ComputerName;

// Get the local computer object
computer = GetObject("WinNT://" + computerName);

try
{
    user = GetObject("WinNT://" + computerName + "/" + oldUserName +
",user");
    computer.MoveHere(user.ADsPath, newUserName);
}
catch (ex)
{
    
}

^^-- End Script --^^

Subject: [Unattended] Renaming the administrator account

Hi all,

After the 'amazing' response to my first post to the list, 
http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg0
3087.html, 
I thought I'd try another one, perhapsa littel easier this time?  :)

How can I rename the default administrator account after unattended 
install of any windows system?

TIA for any advice/help.
