Hello,

I want that the XP Device will automaitcally log in after a remote
connection. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help

Bernd
 
Bernd,

can you give me more detail?

Q. Are you running a headless device?
Q. Are you running a Explorer Shell?
Q. Are you trying to Login as Administrator?

Bernd,
Ju is right in asking what shell you are running. If your image is running
the Explorer shell and you access it through terminal services or RDP then
you are logging into the machine and will see the GUI environment. If you
want to login and use a command line interface, then try suing SSH, or if
you feel lucky try telnet.

Regards,

Sean Gahan
 
I'm interested in the outcome of this as I was never able to get this to
work. I use the Explorer Shell with Friendly Logon User I/F and Auto Logon
components. Once I would close the Remote Desktop the box would not auto
login which was a real problem since my box has no keyboard/mouse/vga
monitor in normal usage so the user can't perform cntrl-alt-del to log back
on. Even with the following reg hack it still didn't work:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"ForceAutoLogon"="1"

Please post the results of your investigation if you can. I ended up
deploying with pcAnywhere.

Doug,

Have you tried an RDP command like this "mstsc -v:ServerName /F -console shadow 0" ?
This will connect to and shadow the console session - no lock screen for end user.
Works perfect on XP Pro. Although, I haven't tried this on XPe, it should work well there is you have included RDP stack.

Check it here for more info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=278845 (although, the article applies to Windows Server
2003 TS, it seems to work fine on XP).

Doug,

Sorry, I just realized I was accidentally playing with 2003 server.
The shadowing does not work on XP Pro :-(

Sorry for any confusion.

PS. For shadow access I usually use Remote Admin or WinVNC products.

Just an idea (not tested yet),
If you open the group policy editor, under User configuration>Administrative
Templates>System>Scripts there is an option to run a script at logoff.
Perhaps you could execute a script when your rdp connection closes and this
would log on your console account.

Bernd,

With a headless device I assume you are using Autologon. Maybe I am
missing something, but why not just restart the device through your
remote session and let Autologon do the work?

HTH, Roy
 
You could always use VNC. This interacts with the desktop (current
console); this does not log out the current session, but allows you to
interact with it. When you log out of VNC the console session continues to
run.
