I'm running a computer class of about 70 computers where students come
every day. Every night I reset them with a ghost image. I use symantec
Ghost 7.0 and then I multicast the image to the computers. But I want
to upgrade the os to a Windows 2000.
I've setup the windows 2k so that the student doesn't have to fill in
a username and password (automatic login). This setting disappear
after running sysprep and then they have to fill in a username and
password.
I prepared a script(sysprep.inf) to avoid the mini setup and this
works fine.

I'm having a problem in getting cmdlines.txt to run. Has anyone
actually made this work? There are plenty of postings in this group
and also KB articles on this topic and it looks like plenty of you
must use this method. But I just can't make it work ... could someone
run their eyes over my set up below and see if they can see any
errors.

* I am using Sysprep 1.0 (because win2k could have problems with 1.1)
* I have a customised Sysprep.inf file (see below)
* I have created my cmdlines.txt file (see below)
* I have created my autologin.reg (see below)


With the exception of the failure of cmdlines.txt, all other fuctions
in my sysprep.inf file work and I have a hands free install working.
I use Symantec Ghost Console to dump and pull my images. So when I
pull an image, it automatically applies the sysprep.inf. I just don't
know where I have to put my other files (cmdlines.txt and
autologin.reg)
because the sysprep is located on the server.

Sysprep.inf
-------------
[GuiUnattended]
OEMSkipWelcome = 1
OemSkipRegional = 1
AdminPassword = *
TimeZone = 4

[Unattended]
OemSkipEula = Yes
OemPreinstall = Yes

[UserData]
FullName = uauser
OrgName = UA
ComputerName = *

[Identification]
JoinWorkgroup = pcklasa

[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents = Yes

[LicenseFilePrintData]
AutoMode = PerServer1
AutoUsers = 5

cmdlines.txt
------------
regedit /s %Windir%\sysprepsettings\autologin.reg

autologin.reg
---------------
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="uauser"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultPassword"= "uauser"
