671369 - determine why logon.reg did not get applied in the last batch of slaves

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

To help others follow properly the individual actionable items needed so we can finish the work on bug 645024 I will spun off this bug.

In the second batch of clone machines (the last 4) we realised that they could not auto-login and from looking at the registry it seems that logon.reg did not get applied when it should have.

The script pretty just needs to run this:
 regedit /s %systemroot%\logon.reg
and that should do the trick.

digipengi is borrowing one of the 4 slaves (w64-ix-slave10), moving it back to the cloning vlan and use the slave to debug this issue.

looks like running the regedit %systemroot%\logon.reg still isn't adding the DefaultUserName"="cltbld" 

If I run it by hand it works so I need to see where the issue is.

What is that extra quote in before the equal sign? a typo on the comment?

Could you paste the actual script and see if an extra pair of eyes can catch something?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="cltbld"
"DefaultPassword"="*******"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
"AutoLogonCount"=-

My bad; I meant the actual scripts that runs the command "regedit %systemroot%\logon.reg"
not the actual contents of logon.reg

regedit %systemroot%\logon.reg

It seems that MDT adds its own auto login to do the deployment and then removes it at the end.
digipengi is hacking around it by adding a startup script.

writing a run-once batch file for getting the registry key loaded properly.

Comment 8

[Matthew Larrain[:MaRu]]

rewrote the MDT cleanup script to do the logon.reg script so it does it without even needing to have the logon.reg script. Pushing an image now to verify 100%

Comment 9

It works now. Giving Armen w64-ix-slave10 back to test and verify all problems are gone.

FTR we had some machine hit some auto-login issues. Not sure what changed a bunch of them went down in the last week or two.
