Hi
I am working with Altiris, deploying an image to HP t5720 Thin Clients
I had issues with the image being deployed, but i can do this now
I want to set the job up to set the local admin password during the deployment?? is this possilbe?
Or is it better to set the local admin password before i take the image?
Thanks
Phil

Before pulling image
I would say it would be better to set it up before pulling the image just to save a step afterwards.
AD Policy
You can also set this in AD policy if you want all machines that the policy is applied to have a set password. You can even use the policy to rename the administrator account.

Create a separate job
Create a separate job to set the local admin password and eventually add a AD group to local administrators group. You can run execute this job after the image deployment. But the better choice , if still possible , start with the base image with the right password.

Set a job to run a windows
Set a job to run a windows script, we run it hidden.
net user administrator password
I set the password in the base image though.
in the image
The easiest way is going to be setting the password in the image. Then you don't need to worry about it.
