New installation wont auto login

[Justin Emlay]

I'm using a WINNT.SIF file from a floppy drive. I'm guessing these setting
are suppose to log you in automatically?

[GuiUnattended]
AutoLogon = Yes
AutoLogonCount = 1

It never does though. I'm also joining a domain in the winnt.sif file could
that be the reason? Security? Here's my entire script:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
AutoPartition = "1"
MsDosInitiated = "0"
UnattendedInstall = "Yes"

[Unattended]
UnattendMode = FullUnattended
OemPreinstall = Yes
TargetPath = \WINDOWS
OemSkipEula = Yes
WaitForReboot = No
Repartition = Yes

[GuiUnattended]
EncryptedAdminPassword = Yes
AutoLogon = Yes
AutoLogonCount = 1
OEMSkipRegional = 1
TimeZone = 4
AdminPassword=""
OemSkipWelcome = 1

[UserData]
ProductID = ""
FullName = ""
OrgName = ""
ComputerName = "Default"

[TapiLocation]
CountryCode = 1
Dialing = Tone
AreaCode = 909

[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup = 1
Language = 00000409

Yup read either the deploy.chm or ref.chm:

AutoLogon
Configures the computer to log on once with the Administrator account.
SyntaxAutoLogon = Yes | No
ValuesYes
Configures the computer to log on once with the Administrator account.
No
Does not automatically log on to the computer.
Default ValueNo
ExampleAutoLogon = Yes

Registry subkeyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\WinLogon\AutoAdminLogon
CommentsThe entry is not valid on upgrades.
If you specify a password in the AdminPassword entry, Setup uses that
password when you log on automatically to the computer. After the
installation finishes, Setup deletes the password from the copy of the
answer file left on the computer.
Important
Encrypting the Administrator password in the EncryptedAdminPassword entry
disables AutoLogon.
To skip Windows Welcome, set UnattendSwitch to Yes in the [Unattended]
section of Unattend.txt.
If you wish to log on automatically after running Sysprep in Factory mode,
set AuditAdminAutoLogon to Yes in the [ComputerSettings] section of
Winbom.ini.

_______________________________________________


AutoLogonCount
Specifies the number of times that the computer automatically logs on with
the specified Administrator account and password.
SyntaxAutoLogonCount = integer
Valueinteger
ExampleAutoLogonCount = 5

Registry subkeyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\WinLogon\AutoLogonCount
CommentsThe value decrements after each logon, and WinLogon disables the
feature after the specified number of logon attempts.
Requires AutoLogon = Yes and AdminPassword = password in Unattend.txt. If
AutoLogon = Yes, WinLogon checks the value of AutoLogonCount. If the number
for AutoLogonCount is greater than 0, WinLogon decrements the count and then
checks AdminPassword. If AdminPassword = password, WinLogon uses this
password to log on automatically. If AdminPassword = *, the user must enter
a password.
If AutoLogonCount = 0, then WinLogon deletes AutoAdminLogon, AutoLogonCount,
and DefaultPassword from the registry. During the next reboot, the user must
log on manually.
Important
The function of this entry has changed slightly between Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. Please review this entry carefully before using it in your
answer file.
Make sure that the password for the master installation (that you plan to
duplicate onto one or more destination computers) is blank.
You must reboot the computer to decrement the value of AutoLogonCount.




I cant figure out why it wont work.
