netplwiz script

[denmyos]

I'm trying to get a "netplwiz" "Script" to work in MDT so the users will autologon.

 

This is what I have come up with, it works when I manuel set the "autoadminlogon" to "1"

 

But why will this line not set the AutoadminLogon to "1"?

 

 

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d HB_BIB /f

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d "Naestved Bibliotek" /f

 

 

maybe there is a better why to make the script?

 

The only thing it needs to do is

1. autologon users

2. users needs a blank password (very imported)

3. Should be able to run through MDT during deployment.

 

 

Thanks

This is the script I have just apply it on a as and when basis to the computers that need it

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

"DefaultUserName"="username"

"DefaultDomainName"="domain"

"DefaultPassword"="password"

I'm having troubles on the same issue and was about to post when I saw this topic. I'm using a batch file to correct some issues on a few PCs that have already been deployed. Here is my batch file script.

@echo off

net user student /add /comment:"User" /passwordchg:NO

wmic useraccount where "name='student'" set passwordexpires=FALSE

net localgroup "Users" student/add

net user Admin pa44w0rd

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d student

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoLogonCount /t REG_DWORD /d 0

exit

 

But I still have to select a user when the PC turns on. This is not joined to a domain. A little help please? This is on windows 8.1

I'm actively searching but failing to find an answer.

Okay after looking at the registry I found that its not creating the defaultpassword key so I edited the user creation line in the batch file to include a password and then entered the password into the regkey defaultpassword line and it worked. I guess it didn't like t making a key with a blank entry.

I change my script to

 

Windows registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

"DefaultUserName"="Bruger"

 

 

And that works..

 

The biggest problem is where to put it in MDT-TS.

Cause it will force the computer to boot into a Normal user and that will mess up the TS.

Does it need a password.?

 

The problem with netplwiz is that if you autologon with a user that has a password, IT HAS TO REBOOT to get into that user profil.

If the user hit the win key+L he cannot get into his account again, without knowing the password, whice he don't have henc,,, autologon.

The only way the user can get back in, is to reboot the computer.
