AutoAdminLogon regkey causing logon script to not run

[mark01]

I have several XP machines in which I have enabled the AutoAdminLogon so that they all auto login everyday after rebooting during the night. Well when they autologin, the login script doesn't run. Not even the minimized DOS window shows at the bottom. But when I log-out, then back in, the login script runs.

How can I fix that?

Thanks

You have logon optomization enabled, and this setting should be disabled in Domains to prevent cached credentials from being used at logon.

To disable this "feature" and restore your domain logons to their Win2k mode of operation, open the MMC and add the group policy snap-in. Under Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->System-->Logon, change "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" to ENABLED.

This can be fed to clients via a group policy from a Windows server by upgrading the standard policy template with the XP policy template. Since this is an XP only command, non-XP systems will ignore it in a domain distributed group policy.
