When I sysprep my "gold" image I use a sysprep.inf that tells it to auto logon with the local administrator in order to finish the task sequence.

Despite this, after deploying an image, the machine sits at the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen. Once I log into the machine with the local administrator account (with the same password as specified in the sysprep.inf & unattend.txt) it continues the TS and finishes with no errors or warnings (which deletes my logs).

Has anyone come across something like this before?

Here is what my sysprep.inf/unattend.txt look like:
_____________________________________

   UnattendMode=FullUnattended
   OemSkipEula=Yes

This happened to me once. It turned out that the password found in the MININT folder was different than my password at the time. I had changed it and forgot to delete the MININT folder. Could this be your problem?
