My english is bad but I'll try to explain what the problem is.
In c:\Windows\Panther\unattend\unattend.xml file, domain account password is in plain text:
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" language="neutral" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Identification>
<Credentials>
<Username>testuser</Username>
<Domain>domain</Domain>
<Password>testpassword</Password>
</Credentials>
<MachineObjectOU>OU=Test,DC=domain,DC=local</MachineObjectOU>
<JoinDomain>domain.local</JoinDomain>
</Identification>
</component>
Above is part of unattend.xml file in c:\windows\panther\unattend folder in client machine.
This account and password are set within task sequence Apply Netwok Setting - Join a domain , as part of the operating system deployment . (Picture in attach)
How to encrypt that password so it is not visible as plain text?
Thanks in advance
