[1703, cu] 1703 MDT autologin not working

[eddyc]

Hello all,

 

Hope you are well.

 

I am aware of the bug with the autologin to complete the task sequence in MDT if using the 1703 ISO as discussed here;

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/182353-windows-10-creators-update-v1703-now-available-download.html

 

We were overcoming this issue by using the powershell script which was working well for us.

 

Last week, suddenly the auto-login stopped working again despite nothing in the task sequence being changed.

 

I'm wondering if anyone might have any suggestions?

 

I've discovered accidently last thing on Friday that if you are imaging a new PC which is left in the computers OU then it works fine whereas if you image an existing PC in our workstations OU then it doesn't autologin - So I am thinking something policy related. The policies have not been modified in a long time though so I am not sure where to start with this.

 

Any suggestions would be welcomed!

 

Kind regards, eddyc

Okie dokie, a little update on this one.

 

If I turn off the link to the Windows 10 GPO and image a PC the PC images fine with autologin, so it is something policy related.

 

The policy itself doesn't include a great deal - Is the only way to find out what policy is causing an issue to turn off one item at a time and then reimage the PC until it breaks?

OK, so I blocked the link on the old GPO and started over, turning on one policy \ group policy preference, etc at a time for our Windows 10 workstation policy until the deployment hangs at the login screen.

 

It turns out that our startup script that calls delprof2 is the issue.

 

If you run delprof2 as a startup script, even with /ed:Administrator switch, it breaks the deployment process.

 

 

EDIT:

I have since found that if you run delprof2 as a startup script you also need to exclude /ed:default* as delprof2 seems to delete the default profile on the 1703 build of Windows 10.
