Best keyboard Because you deserve better. In this case I just reboot and log directly in as the Administrative account then the Copy To button is available for the other profiles. Can you please tell me how you fix the issue with vista creating a TEMP profile for user who log in to the machine after copying the administrator profile to Default user?
Make sure you're correctly configured the permissions in the 'Permitted to Use' section. Vista won't be able to load the profile if the user doesn't have adequate rights.

I attempted the 2nd part of your notes and it would not allow me to rename the hive.
Can you give me some ideas? We have customers who are now switching to Vista and I am still not sure the best way to make a default user profile for the machines prior to imaging. The only supported method for making replacing the default user profile are to use the copyprofile unattended setting during sysprep. When you sysprep the machine, the logged on user profile settings are copied over to the default user profile. Code Snippet Neroberg, I never mentioned this in my previous posts because I just didn't think about it.
I never create a Default template using a machine that is already a member of a domain. You should always use local user accounts as a template for your Default user. When you think about it, the Default user that exists on a base installation is a local user account.
You are also correct when noting that the Everyone permission refers to the local machine's Everyone group. Here's a quick rundown on opening the Default user's ntuser. Open RegEdit 2. Select Load Hive from the Files menu 4. You will be asked for a Key Name.

It is very clean and you can use this method when using an image deployment system that requires full automation. These systems require full automation at the time of deployment. I just write a script that loads the default user hive, make the edits needed and unload the hive. Would you possibly be willing to share your script, or at the least the basics of how you load the hive, change a setting in that hive, and unload it?
I do not know how to script loading and unloading a different hive to make changes to it through the script. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Windows Client. Sign in. United States English. Ask a question. Quick access. Search related threads. Remove From My Forums.

Hey guys, Our company has been following a procedure for several years for the installation and setup of Windows XP Pro based client machines. Then we would be able to log on as a different user, and it would pull up the default user profile which is matched with the Administrators profile now and it would be fine.
Now we are dealing with windows Vista based client machines, therefore having to redo the procedure. We have been able to adjust most settings, but we have got stuck with this one. Does anyone know how we can get around this? Its a setting we really need to have, if we can't do this, then we might have to stick with Windows XP Pro for now.
Tuesday, April 10, AM. Murty, I have always created a "Customized" default user account as you have in the past. However, I have always used a slightly different process. Today I worked on my first Vista image for a new notebook and had great success using the same process that I have always used. There were a couple quirks that I did not deem worthy of wasting a lot of time on.
First, this is a Lenovo notebook image that I customized. The notebook came with a gadget promoting Lenovo products. Even though I removed this from my Default account, it is still there when I log into a new account. Second, I had set some of the task bar icons to hide themselves but they were all set to "Hide When Inactive" under the new account.
Finally, I had cleared the recent program list in the start menu but there is one item listed Backup and Restore Center under the new account. I'm sure theses are just a couple registry issues that I'll figure out later.
And if you press ctrl alt del twice from the vista gui login, you get bumped back to a prompt where you can manually enter your user credentials circumventing the need for safe mode. Is there any way to get rid of the blank user-picture holder? It looks really dumb and annoying, IMO. I would appreciate the help if anyone knows how to get rid of it. What I want to do is change the "Welcome" after the logon screen where it literally say "Welcome" after logging in to something like "Greeting!
Not if you hide the Administrator account. Very frustrating Guess I'll have to go the Safe Mode route. I recommend Stardock Logon Studio easy to use utility!
