Hi!

My wish is to remotely send username/password to

Are there any services u can send this to or can u use any
good 3:rd party softwares?

I'm openminded, just give me suggestions!

I'm trying to set up temporary users with temp passwords
that they dont know themselves (I and the system knows
them) and then I would like to remotely log them in on a
computer. It's for a Cybercafé im doing this.
You suggested telnet? Can u telnet a login for a computer?

[Re: Telnet -- you asked for REMOTE login but that isn't what
you really want.]

My suggestion is to setup the machine as a Kiosk, using Automatic
Login (to a known account) and lock-down to run only a specific
program/programs using the Registry, Profile, and Group Policies.

(As well as permissions.)

You can probably search the Microsoft site for recommendations
for "Kiosk" setup.

Good question and a good reason to want to be able to do it.

Unfortunately for you, the security mechanism attached to the login box
means that no other program can be running while the logon takes place.

I can't think of a way to do this short of writing your own MSGINA
replacement, which is not really an option.

I wonder what you could do by creating auto logins to a locked down account
which runs no programs (i.e. the shell has been changed or replaced with a
dummy exe file that only displays a logo or something). You could then use
psexec from www.sysinternals.com along with a batch file to launch Internet
Explorer or other applications (even Explorer to give you a full desktop).
