user account management

[Reto Bucher]

Hello,

I'm trying to reduce the footprint of my windows xp embedded image.

I removed the Internet Explorer and, because of unresolved
dependencies also the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

The drawback is now, that I cannot manage the user accounts anymore!
(Enable Guest Account)

Is there a possibility to enable the guest via registry? Or already in
TD?

Best Regards
Reto Bucher

Reto,

There is a User Account component to add users and assign
them to groups

· cmiUserName = "FieldService"
· cmiUserPassword = "password"
· cmiUserGroup = "1"

NOTE: User groups are DEFINED as:
· cmiUserGroup 1 = Admin group
· cmiUserGroup 2 = Power User group
· cmiUserGroup 3 = User group
· cmiUserGroup 4 = Guest group

Hope this helps

Hi
Where can I find how the user groups are defined? is there a Component for that
I Tried to set a user as Power User (2) and didn't work. I though I need to define groups or so

May be you someone can help me with this. Is there a possibility to use a different Administrator Accound Name that "Administrator"?. Something like "Admin", It looks I can not change the Administrator account name in the Admin Component. What I'm triying to avoid is having an Administrator Account using the "Administrator" as name

You can create another account with admin. privelages. In TD, add another
"User Account" component. This will show up as "User Account #2". Then set
the following attributes in the Advanced Settings tab: cmiUserName,
cmiUserPassword, and set cmiUserGroup = 1.

GLopez,

You can always use MS Resource Kit tools or third party tools to
create/rename/modify group privileges/etc. during FBA. E.g. cusrmgr.exe
(console User Manager tool), net.exe (e.g. "net group /add") and so on.

TD has many restrictions in setting up user accounts.
Also, you can use a manual reseal procedure on your target device. This way
you will be able to pre-set user accounts and their settings at runtime and
have it freezed in golden image.
