Hello,

Following the deployment of a PC via WADS, I noticed that the password for the local account created by WADS during installation can expire.

Is it possible to add a "password never expire" instruction to the XML?

Aside from this, WADS works perfectly

Hello Jorico,

the XML file can be modified manually; there are quite a few examples online. The problem with using usernames and passwords in the XML file is, of course, that they are stored in plain text somewhere.

Is this for a local admin account or an application/generic account?

If it's for a local admin account, I recommend using LAPS management; it's much more secure.

If it's a service account, it's best to include it in the software installation package, encrypting it with the machine's private key.

Regards,

Denis
