Vista - RE: Sysprep and Administrator account

There is an option in sysprep for Vista to enable to Administrator account. I
use it in my images. It can be found in the OOBE section in SIM.

Kendric thanks for the info, Are you refering to the AutoLogin section?
<AutoLogon>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Username>Administrator</Username>
<Password>pwd</Password>
<LogonCount>1</LogonCount>
</AutoLogon>

This partially solves the problem, kind of workaround.
Thanks for it.
