Can't save FTP site password after fbreseal.

[Brad]

I use IE browser to connect to a ftp site, and click File / Login As
to enter the username and password of the site.
Normally, I can click Save Password check box to save the password of
the site.
But after I use fbreseal.exe to clone the image and shutdown, next
time I boot the same image it just can't save the password of ftp site
by check the Save Password check box.
I also try each options of fbreseal.exe, but the result are all
failed.
Is this a bug of fbreseal.exe?
How can I fix this problem?
Please help me, thank you.

Brad,
what option did you use for fbreseal? Try "fbreseal -keepall".
Since passwords are accepted but not recorded try if protected storage
service is stopped:
Start > Run, type services.msc, in the services list search "Protected
Storage", if not started start it, if already running stop and restart the
service. ( to change service's status, right click on service name and
select operation).
regards
Raffaele

I have try fbreseal -keepall before, but the result is failed.
I also check the Protected Storage and restart the service, but the
result is also failed.
I think this should be a bug of fbreseal.exe, because everything goes
fine before I clone the system.
Does anyone has the same problem as me?
Please let me know the situation of yours.
Thank you.

Hello guys, I found the solution in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815229
It also happen in XP Pro.
I try the resolution and it works fine.
Thank you Crus, you give me a good clue fro this problem.


When using sysprep.exe, passwords cannot be saved

CAUSE
If you run the sysprep tool, the SID is changed, but the SID change
causes the Protected Storage Service to malfunction.

RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, delete keys beginning with the letter
"S" within the following registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage Provider
* Close Protected Storage Service
* Run REGEDT32.EXE
* Choose HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage
Provider
* Delete keys beginning with the letter "S"
* Go to the Security menu, and select Authorize Access
* Click Add, and add the current user. Choose Full Control for
authorized access.
* Click Delete, and delete the key itself
* Restart computer

If the above steps are completed prior to running the sysprep tool,
users added after the fact will be able to save passwords
successfully.

Nice work, you have found the key!
I confirm that this problem is not only yours since I've been able to
reproduce it.
It depends from the Cloning tool that is a sort of Sysprep.

The facts are:
"the user that's active for resealing the device loose the capability to
remember passwords."

This happens even if this user never records a password.
To restore it's memory the SID key in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected StorageProvider
should be deleted.
This may be done before fbreseal or after system restart.
( if the key to be deleteted has subkeys, access rights must be extended to
them using the Advanced button)
All users defined before and after reseal are kept unchanged.

These are the repro steps:
Start an image set for Autologon with users "Administrator" and "test".
Log as Administrator
Give command "fbreseal -keepall"
Restart and wait until system is ready, "Administrator" is now logged in.
Using IE go into a password protected site asking to remember the psw.
Go out try to access again. You are requested to insert the password again,
so it's has been forgotten.
Logoff and logon as "test" user, try to enter the protected site.
The password is kept.
Create a new user "myself". Logging on as "myself" check that psw is still
kept.
Log on again as Administrator. Stop Protected Storage Service, delete the
SID key in registry "protectedStorageProvider" and restart the service.
Access to the protected site using IE and the password is now kept.
