Vista Deployment Login Problem
Hi all,
I have a problem with Win Vista deployment and hope anyone can help.
I'm using DS 6.9 and could create a vista image from a member machine of my domain. Then, I have deployed that image to a new machine on the network.
The deployment went fine without problems. But after it finished, and while loading to the production Vista OS, I could not login to the machine!
I tried to login with a domain admin account, also tried the local admin account of the source machine from which I took the image, but all these trials failed.
I finally tried to deploy the image to the same source machine (the machine from which I created the image), and then I could log in using the local admin and the domain admin accounts.
So, I need to know if I miss something to be configured on the client machine or on the Image creation job to solve this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Mustafa

Check your unattended.xml
Mustafa,
I struggled with this as well. Double check your ""Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" component section in your .xml file. I've included my working (and tokenized) code below. First, it sets the administrator password. Next, It will create a local account for the %USER_NAME% token and allow you to set a password. Lastly, it sets up a one count auto-logon for the Administrator account.

which file to edit?
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your reply.
Please, tell me where should I put this code. Which .xml file do you mean and where can I find it?
Thanks,
Mustafa
