Saving Active Directory credentials

[MikePohatu]

Hi Alessio,

This was done this way on purpose for security reasons. I have had a few requests though so am looking at allowing this option. Will let you know but will probably be in the new year before this comes out.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike,
I understand your point. Almost :)
I noticed some while ago that credentials saved into any task sequence's step, for joining the domain e.g., are anyhow visible doing a dump of the TS variables. So I felt somehow "authorized" to create my own script which, at the very beginning, asks for user's credentials, checked against AD and reused later to join the computer and other tasks; this way I could create a generic task sequence for all my collaborators without saving anything into the task sequence itself.

Of course, something already built in TSgui would help a lot, so I am happy I am not alone asking you such option to keep credentials reusable inside the task. No hurry though.

Thanks

This is available as an option now. See doco here
