Bobby_Moore Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Dear all, I am an administrator for a domain. I want to be able to get a script that will populate the login boxes (with credentials I know/set) to login to the actual PC. It enables us to run scripts en masse, something that we already have configured. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc939702.aspx - adminlogon registry keys which prove to be inconsistenthttps://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/autologon.aspx - is a glorified registry editor, and not command line basedhttps://www.logonexpert.com/ - works great, but expensive for the amount of clients we have The market is really void of these types of solutions and it would be great if AutoIt has this capability. Look forward to hearing your thoughts, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_Moore Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have already assumed I would need to run AutoIt as a service.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Umm....you can run scripts as an admin without logging in. Its how packages are pushed to PCs without the users logged in.

Its how packages are pushed to PCs without the users logged in. Agreed. There are many ways to push scripts without having to login...now if your script depends on a user being logged in, that's another thing but that's not a very good deployment approach and should be avoided if possible.

jguinch Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I can confirm : autologon from Sysinternals works perfectly in command line. What kind of tasks do you want to launch ?

Bobby_Moore Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 The autologin does work, but all it is doing is injecting the relevant registries. I can do that without the autologin tools to achieve the same goal en masse. Problem is, we are trying to login around 200 PCs via this method and there are documented issues when it comes to this scale. What would be more reliable is an AutoIt script to sequence the keys to login - would this be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I strongly do NOT recommend you try the approach you are asking for. I've been doing IT since 1995 and your the first to want to do it the way you are asking. EVERYONE else does it the way we are telling you. Why not just do small batches and verify the jobs ran properly in each batch?
