Automatic logon does not logon

[Cato Svellingen]

Hi,

I tried the Automatic logon on my dev. PC, and it works fine.

Now, I am trying it on the target machine, but there it does not logon
automatically, It still asks for user name and password as before, even if
Automatic Logon is used.

Why is this happening ?

Cato,
You can fix this problem in your registry. Open
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
If you don't see the following keys, then you will have to create them:

KeyName: AutoAdminLogon
KeyValue: 1=enable, 0=disable

KeyName: DefaultUserName
KeyValue: "ENTER THE USER ACCOUNT"

KeyName: DefaultPassword
KeyValue: "ENTER THE USER PASSWORD"

*if you are on a domain
KeyName: DefaultDomainName
KeyValue: "DOMAIN NAME"

Regards,

Sean Gahan

Cato,

It would help if you mentioned how exactly you tried the Autologon on you
dev and target PCs.

Anyway, you can always go with "Auomatic Logon" component in your image or
chnage the registry directly as Sean mentioned.

If you use System Cloning Tool - component you have to put a "FALSE" at
advanced settings
"cmiRemoveAutoLogon".

Thats how I solved that problem. Was pretty hard to find. No idea why
default is true???

Cato,

I found that I needed to set the "Windows Logon" component setting
"Default User Name" in addition to the Automatic Logon settings. And I
use the "Standard PC" component "System Identification" "Default
Workgroup" setting to establish the default logon domain (workgroup
for me).

HTH, Roy
