Autologon

[Graham]

Mat, does your registry change look anything like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Enables the automatic workstation login account
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="Install"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"AutoLogonCount"="50"
"DefaultPassword"="password"
"AltDefaultUserName"=""

Obviously the DefaultUserName needs to be altered
accordingly.

Aren't you missing the:

DefaultDomainName

??

So it would be (No AutoLogon):

------ start script here ------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"="DOMAIN"
"DefaultUserName"="USERNAME"
"PowerdownAfterShutdown"="1"
"LogonType"=dword:00000000
"ShowLogonOptions"=dword:00000001
"AltDefaultUserName"=""
"AltDefaultDomainName"=""
------ end script here ------


With AutoLogon:

------ start script here ------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"="DOMAIN"
"DefaultUserName"="USERNAME"
"PowerdownAfterShutdown"="1"
"LogonType"=dword:00000000
"ShowLogonOptions"=dword:00000001
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"AutoLogonCount"="50"
"DefaultPassword"="PASSWORD"
"AltDefaultUserName"=""
"AltDefaultDomainName"=""
------ end script here ------


With things like DOMAIN, USERNAME, and in the latter case PASSWORD and 50
changed accordingly.

Add the following to the end of the reg listing Graham sent

"DefaultDomainName"="xxxx"

The only difference I have is ShowLogonOptions is set to 0
not 1. Windows XP tries to autologon but because it hasnt
changed the domain from the local PC to our domain it
comes back with an error saying unknown account or the
like. When you attempt to change the domain manually it
says "Please wait while the domain list is created".
Hitting Cntrl ALT Del allows you to change it as it just
sits there otherwise.

Yeah I have this key set.
