I am running DS 6.9 SP1 MP1 on Windows server 2008. Any time I reimage a client the Automation Agent Authentication gets rewritten. The user name goes from bean-richard to beanmpVHKpxP and the password is blank. When the imaging is done it gives me an error that configuring can't complete and it is because the authentication is incorrect. I put the correct information back in and select retry task and it completes just fine. So somehow whenever the bootworks partition is accessed it rewrites the authentication. I've tried creating a new bootworks without success. This only started happening when I upgraded to 6.9 on a new 2008 server.
