Hi guys,

Im struggling with autologon. What i want is when i deploy my OS that he autologs once, and performs the commands that i have put under the [GuiRunOnce] line.

This is a part of my *.sif file

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=d15883fb15113bf08b0ea5a7dsfs244239061f1c1...........
EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=1
OEMSkipRegional=1
TimeZone=%TIMEZONE%
OemSkipWelcome=1

The problem is he doesn't log on automatically. Could it be because my password is encrypted? mad.gif

[Edit]

I have changed my *.sif file:

AdminPassword=blabla
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=1
OEMSkipRegional=1
TimeZone=%TIMEZONE%
OemSkipWelcome=1


And it works! So the reason it didnt work, is because the password was encrypted, is there any solution for this?

unsure.gif unfortunately this is a limitation of RIS. The password must be sent in clear text. I don't believe this is a problem with PE images. So the solution is to put the password in clear text. If your worried about it use a script to change the password on first logon.
