Password hint required windows 7
After creating a new image, sysprepping, restarting and creating a new user it is requiring a password hint. My question?? Is there anyway to disable this feature maybe in my unattend.xml file?? Thanks for any help.

No, there is no way to configure a password hint in your unattended answer file for Windows 7. The Windows Home Server unattended answer file had this ability (as PasswordHint in [InitialConfiguration])...
Are you using Windows 7 Enterprise for your imaging? Try creating the new user using Computer Management - Local User & Groups - Users (if you are using control panel). It may make a difference. When are you being prompted for a password hint?

He's talking about being able to specify a password hint in his unattended install answer file, which is not possible. Since he's not able to specify a password hint in the answer file, it pops up on the restart after the install finishes.
It's a pain but there's no way to do it.

My thought was.....should it be popping up to start with. I've never encountered a prompt to create a password hint when creating a local user after sysprepping Windows 7. Yes...your answer is right which is "No". A password hint is unique to the user so there is no way to specify this in an answer file.

ivanoviola Yes I am using Windows 7 Enterprise. After sysprep and a restart I am required to create a new local user. After creating a user and naming the computer I am required to enter a password and a password hint. My hope was to take away that step.
