Tripredacus Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Why do you need the Administrator account? I usually just create 2 accounts (if needed) with 1 local admin account (at least) and 1 local user account, then login with whatever. I ask this of clients too that want to use the Administrator (built-in) account, what do you need it for? And usually no one can give a reason for it.

n0xi3 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Because we are on a domain setup, we use the Local Administrator account to install any specific software that is not included in our images. We really havn't found a good alternative to this. We have tried a bunch of different things.. looks like it still is not connecting to the domain anymore.

maxXPsoft Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yes and that is one thing I think may be problemYou have a user logging in to domain <Username>*****tech</Username> yet you turn around and use Administrator alsoCan you use the tech user to install?

I am guessing you installed and then captured?To use an image for redeployment with xml you must use Audit mode and then do sysprep specifying the 2nd xml as in this examplestart sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:Unattended_Win7.xmlYou can then have the Unattended_Win7.xml on a usb or floppy and it will see it when you go for a test installDepending on what users you used here. You do not want to install applications as Administrator or they might not be useable by other users.Audit mode xml example here and you call the sysprep line above at very end then capture when it does the /shutdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Are you saying that while troubleshooting this issue, it became the one in your new thread? Or are you saying that you are experiencing two sets of issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
