Hi,
Each time I logon to my PC I connect (login in to ) to few other PC's on the network.

Is it possible to auto (without my intervention)login (connect) into other PC's when I login into my PC?

Thanks in advance.

How do you connect? If you are talking about mapping network drives you can use a login script. The command is "net use", for instance:

net use t: \\computername\sharename

or

net use h: \\computername\sharename /user:domain\username

You can add swtches for password prompts etc. Was this what you wanted to do or was it something completely different?
 
Hi,
I'm not talking about mapping a drive. I'm talking about just login into a computer.

Ex: Each time I login into MY PC, I double click on "NetworkPC" login as "administrator".
I want this process to be automated like, each time I login into my PC I also login as "administrator" into other PC's.

Thanks,
Vinayak
 
The login you describe is really just giving you access to shared resources on the machine(s) concerned. If you run a net use statement in logon script for a shared resource on each machine, I think you'll find you are effectively 'logged' in (ie, you won't be prompted to username/password when you access the machine). You will need to specify the password to the net use command (either explicitly in clear text, or by having it prompt you for each one, in which case the passwords will be hidden when you type them).
