Windows 2008 Server Prompts For New Administrator Password After Sysprep Image Capture
Article: 20000033
Applies to: Release 3.80 or greater
After the Sysprep image is captured, the reference server will continue through an unattended installation
using the unattend.xml file that was auto-generated by Altiris Deployment Server. By default, the Administrator
account is disabled in Windows Server 2008 and the auto-generated unattend.xml file does not enable the Administrator
account because credentials would have to be supplied in the file.
The Administrator account will be enabled and configured with a password when the Sysprep image is deployed
to targets using the unattend answer file specified in the Distribute Disk Image task in the
Deploy Windows 2008 Sysprep Image job. If changes need to be made to the unattend answer file, use the
Microsoft tool Windows System Image Manager included in the Microsoft Windows AIK.
