You're right, I suppose I could rename the Administrator account at the end of the installation. I found some VBScript code to do that elsewhere on this mailing list.
Do you know if there is a way to get the user's full name through a script? Either from unattend.txt or a system call. So that I can do something like todo.pl "change_admin_script.vbs %FULL_NAME%" I need to find a way to get the value for that variable, then I'll be set :) Jon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Ivanyi Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 4:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Unattended] Change the default account from "Administrator" On Wed, 16 Aug, 2006 at 09:03:45 -0400, Jon Henry wrote: > I was wondering if anyone knows a way to make the default Windows > account that Unattended creates something other than "Administrator". > > Generally, when I set up a new computer for a user, Windows will ask me > for an account name (we use the person's full name).

Thanks for any suggestions! Is there any special need not to use default account for installation of everything you need. There are many places where you can add/rename (builtin) users but don't know reasons why you want to do this in unattend.txt, which is only part of "full system" installation.
