Windows Authentication without Password??

[Anopheles]

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish logon to a Win2K3 box without the use of username and password, much in the fashion of using public/private keypairs to SSH to a *nix box? We are outsourcing support of some customer boxes to a 3rd party, and we would like to give them access in a more secure way than a a standard user acct that all of them will know.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Never heard of a way, but if it's anything like XP, there's an AutoAdminLogin or AutoAdminLogon regedit you can do... i'd google for it via xp's way and see if it helps ya.

Wish i could tell ya more buts it's been years since i've done it.
