adkuv Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi people, This is a pretty weird requirement I believe. If any of you can help me with anything it would help me a great deal. As the topic says, I need the windows machines to auto logon on reboot. The standard method of registry tweaking is not allowed to me as it exposes the password in txt format. On every monday morning, when the server reboots I login to the console and interactively login to all the servers. There are about 25 of those and obviously I would like to automate this process. So, can you guys suggest me anything? I think the best thing would be to put a script on the server which will login the user on reboot and not expose the password in text in registry. The password can be stored in text in the script as it is allowed. Alternatively, if I am connecting to the server, is there any way by which I can send the user name and pwd to the server so that it logs in? Hope someone helps me with this one. :) Thanks!

wickedadmin Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes, having the password set in the registry is a security risk, but isn't it also having a server auto-login? I would check group policy, but check this out:Check this guys script Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adkuv Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi mate, thanks a lot for the info. This certainly seems useful but can you please guide me a bit as to the usage of ADM files? How am I supposed to use that script given in the link?

wickedadmin Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Creating ADM templates is a new area for me as well. i'm currently testing it out of curiosity. I will post what I find out. Unless anyone else knows how it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedadmin Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm aving some trouble with the admin file but this tool should work just fine. It's not free but it works. I tested it with my Server running 2003 Server.LogonExpert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
