This bit me yesterday when I was testing task sequences after upgrading to MDT 2013 U1. My existing Windows 7 builds were failing.
[cid:[email protected]] If I created a brand new task sequence the build would complete. So I compared my original Unattend.xml with the factory default and found that the passwords in my original were not in plain text while those in the default were. [cid:[email protected]] When I was running MDT 2013 (RTM) I modified the XML through the MDT console (triggering Windows System Image Manager) to set the "ProtectYourPC" to disable auto updates. That was the only change I made. I'm guessing that WSIM set the value to encrypt the passwords by default? Anyway, does MDT 2013 U1 have issues with encrypted passwords in the XML?
