Matthew VanDerlofske Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I have about 80 servers that I reboot each week, they are our backup servers so I also have an unlock script that runs on startup. I would like to automate the login of each of these servers as well. They are all always logged in so any members of the helpdesk can check on a backup or look at the history. I have tryed to get this to work but have not been able to so far. Any ideas?

sandyd Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) Look in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon There should be two string values: DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword Set the values for both of these to be the logon details you require Look for AutoAdminLogon and set it to "1" (Without quotes) Reboot. Hope this helps. Note: This is not very safe practice, having your servers logged in, but thats up to you ... @big_daddy - got there before me Edited January 29, 2007 by sandyd ----[ SandyD ]---
Matthew VanDerlofske Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks for the help, you get so used to using one product for all your automation tasks and you forget to see if it is already part of the OS.
