rename and autologin
I am conducting a scripted computer rename and move within AD usinf WMI
and vbsript .. once this has completed the computer restarts.. often I find the autologon fails (not all the time), and it's quite random and I cant really explain why. A manual login will work, but the autologin will not. We have looked at AD replication and this appears to be ok. We have also tried delaying the restart to allow AD to sync. Both these have had limited success. Not anything we can rely on 100% of the time which is critical for us. We are running Vista sp1, and server 2003 with latest sp. The script running without an autologon is fine. The rename and Ad move work very well. any ideas ?

rename and autologin
Just some more pointers that may be helpful..
I am running this on a notebook with a LAN and wireless card. Upon reboot I can login manually almost straight away despite the autologin failing. phoenix wrote: I am conducting a scripted computer rename and move within AD usinf WMI and vbsript .. once this has completed the computer restarts.. often I find the autologon fails (not all the time), and it's quite random and I cant really explain why.

I am running this on a notebook with a LAN and wireless card. Upon reboot I can login manually almost straight away despite the autologin failing. What do the following registry entries show on systems that work, and those that do not work? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultUserName HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultPassword HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AutoLogonCount HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AutoAdminLogon -- Zaphod No matter where you go, there you are!
