Enable Administrator Account
I am using the Kace 2000 to install Windows 7 64 bit. It is my understanding that the administrator account can be used to install programs via the Kace 2000. However, it is also my understanding that Windows disables the account when it is done with the installations.
I tried enabling the administrator's account while using the administrator account to install various software. However, the account was disabled after everything was said and done.
When I used a different user with administrator (For example: installuser) rights, this account did enable the default administrator account. Is it possible to use the administrator account to enable itself? My testing seems to suggest no. Thanks for your help.

This is possible by enabling the administrator account in your unattended file.
What I would do, is use the Kace wizard to create a base line.
Copy this xml, into the system image manager and make the required changes.
When your done, copy it back and save.

I would avoid logging in as administrator. If you would like to customize a windows installation, the best way of doing that seems to be using sysprep to reboot the computer into audit mode.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
