Auto Logon failed

Joel Agustin

I have a task sequence that is installing a custom winXP image; however when
I image a machine it will not auto logon. Once I manually login then the
sequence continues with no errors.

I have checked the sysprep.inf and unattend.txt files to ensure that the
autologon entries are set up with the correct password with the right number
of times

[GuiUnattended]
AutoLogon="Yes"
AutoLogonCount=999
AdminPassword="**SENSITIVE DATA***"

any ideas?

Under GuiUnattended, do you have an item that encrypts the admin password? You will need to remove that item.

I don't have an answer for you, but I have seen the same thing from time
to time. Do you save the Administrator password in encrypted form using
Setup Manager? You might try running Setup Manager again against your
sysprep.inf file to make sure the encrypted password is correct.

Check to see if there is a minint there from the previous deployment. If you
are deploying an image that still has the minint folder, and you happened to
change the password since, it sometimes gives you problems.

At least that happened for me.
