[wpkg-users] reboot command

[Garrick Rune]

Dany,

For Windows XP you'll have to create a registry entry to auto-login as a specific user under a specific domain.

You can create a new registry file by copying the following into a text and saving it as a .reg
-
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AltDefaultDomainName"="YourDomain"
"AltDefaultUserName"="Administrator"
"DefaultDomainName"="YourDomain"
"DefaultUserName"="Administrator"
"DefaultPassword"="YourPassword"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
-

For rebooting you can use the command 'shutdown -r -t 0' shutdown, reboot, time = 0 seconds. Effectively it is the same command as sudo shutdown -r NOW.

Greeting everyone.  

I ran into a slight problem yesterday and hosetly, I don't know if it is
a WPKG or unattened problem.  So cross-posting this morning!

Sometimes, I need to be able to run unattended scripts for software
installation (autoit based, or for nasty programs like NetSupport School
that tries to detect the screen during the setup.  I guess it would have
helped me too for my IE6 deployement of last week).

To switch from WPKG to unattened, I wrote the XML found at the end of
this messages.

And it worked well, at least as I expected, under Windows 2000.  

But the problem is when I ran this on my WinXP lab, it simply waited the
full logon delay that I specified in the WPKG service and proposed the
usual CTRL-ALT-DEL prompt.  When I pressed the CTRL-ALT-DEL, it directly
logged my in local Administrator and continue the script.

So, for some reason, WinXP doesn't run the line z:\bin\todo.pl .reboot.
Is there an alternative that I could use that would work in both
environnement.
