Re: Password encryption in sysprep

One option is to invest in something like Altiris (god's gift to deployment) or Zenworks (if you're a masochist) and let that do the job for you when it comes to adding to the domain and post image software deployment and all that other fun stuff, and just use sysprep for what it was designed for, making one image fit multiple hardware types.

Thanks for the response, but that's not what I'm looking for. I know I could encrypt the local admin password in the inf file, but I'm looking to encrypt the password for the user account I'm using to join the computers to the domain.

There is a sysprep inf file setting called EncryptedAdminPassword that you can use to encrypt the admin password. Search that word at microsoft.com for more info if you need it.

I'm using sysprep on win xp sp2 machines to setup before a ghost deployment. Is there a way to encrypt the password used to join the domain within the .inf file?
