  Hi Corey,
  I added this to my K2000 to test out and when it gets to the applying mid-level task, it gives me an AutoIT error when trying to run the executable:
  Line 4621 (File "Y:\applications\68\contents\apply_unattend_lti_x64.exe"):
  Error: Variable must be of type "Object".

    Can you please email me (email in profile) your log file, which is located on the deployed drive\programdata\quest\kace\scriptingninjas\unattend_lti.log. In addition, please include your modify_unattend.ini file if you used a custom one. Include your command line for the task and explain to me exactly how you run it so I can try to reproduce on my end, as others are not experiencing this issue.

      I think it was that the image my guys were trying to use it on was not sysprepped prior to capture. I had some time today and made a clean install and ran sysprep then used this LTI and it applied the name without any errors. If I run into any other problems I'll let you know, but it appears to be a false alarm!

      Awesome!! I'll look at adding a message if it can't find an unattend file to modify and also check to make sure the machine is sysprepped.

  Is there anyway to use the same username and password for auto logins?

  Timezone is working, Computer name is working, locale is working. But domain join is not.
  
  Here is what the .xml file looks like after the tool modifies it.
  
  </component>
  <component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

  This is the ini files I am using.

  I ended up setting the domain to localhost host so the tool would not touch that that part of the unattend.xml. I am using something else to join to the domain. Thanks for the help!

  I really like using this tool, it works great. I wrote a script that pulls the previous workstation name from the registry and populates the domain name based on the default DNS suffix, making it even easier to use. But I want to do more with this. I have several different scenarios for single images that could be configured from a menu like this. I could easily write a program to create the modify_unattend.ini file, except for the encrypted password, which would allow me to still use your apply_unattend mid-task.
  
  Would it be possible to enable piping a string through the unattend_lti_password_generator.exe and have it stored as a string so I can write it to the modify_unattend.ini file? As far as I can tell, it doesn't include any sort of runtime arguments, but maybe I'm wrong.
