I know that Microsoft did not include auto logon functionality for Win2k server, but are there any third party solutions to make a server autologon?
I would like to be able to set the server to reboot during the night on occassion as opposed to coming in at 4:00AM before everyone else gets to work in order to simply reboot the server. I figure it will be fairly secure if I use the "lock server" utility in the startup menu. If I can just get it to auto logon after rebooting then it will only be accessible for a second or two before being locked.
I don't understand why Microsoft just arbitrarily made it seemingly impossible? A flexible OS should be as secure or as insecure as the admin likes it.
Thanks!
