Loggin automatically

[md110user]

Hi
How could I loggin to Win2K server whithout need for "CTR +Alt+Del" and typing the Username and Password?

I need to loggin automatically as an Administrator, like what I can do in Win2Proff.
so if the server which is in my case "stand alon" restatred it can be returne back to the desktop and the programme will be lanch automatically "the programe will start if the windows started (start up programme)".

Thanks in advance

To bypass the login screen and automatically login in as the administrator, you need to run regedit and make the following resistry mods:

Find key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Ensure the following properties are set (adding them if necessary)

AutoAdminLogon = 1
DefaultDomainName = "{your domain}"
DefaultPassword = "{admin pass}"

Download TweakUI, which is a Microsoft Powertoy. It's free, and lets you customize your desktop in many different ways.
It has automatic login ability.

As this creates a huge security risk, I would advice that if you must do it that you shoud have a login script configured for the autologin ID that locks the screen right away.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run("rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkstation")

I hope you find this post helpful.

	ts.write ScriptCode
	ts.close
