John, just to confirm spelling etc., here are the entries from the one I have working. AutoAdminLogon REG_SZ 1 DefaultDomainName REG_SZ XXX DefaultPassword REG_SZ XXXXXXX DefaultUserName REG_SZ XXXXXXX ForceAutoLogon REG_SZ 1 Beyond that, your second solution is fairly foolproof also.

Oh, well... it's not critical that it auto-logon. I've got the username/password taped onto the chassis so that the user can log in.

Not sure then, I did just verify it again with both a domain and a local account, worked exactly as our XP machines do. ________________________________ From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 3:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 7 Well, I have those set already. Only the path was *slightly* different... it was HKLM>Software>Microsoft>WindowsNT>CurrentVersion>WinLogon. There was nothing directly under WindowsNT for me.

HKLM>Software>Microsoft>WindowsNT>Winlogon Add any string values that don't exist in the following list: Change "DefaultUserName" to desired account Change "DefaultPassword" to correct value Change "DefaultDomainName" to correct value Change AutoAdminLogon to "1" Change ForceAutoLogon to "1" Dennis ________________________________ From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 2:46 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 7 Well, I think a lot of that has changed between XP and Vista/Win7. Microsoft seems to have gone out of their way to prevent you from being able to auto-logon in a domain environment.

I swore I did this at my last job... ________________________________ From: Stefan Jafs [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 2:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 7 Yeah, I know "What's my username again", if it does not come up as usual, if someone else logged in, helpdesk gets the call! ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 3:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 7 Yeah... Well in XP, you can use TweakUI, but that's been discontinued beginning with Vista. And, yes... it does make things a bit less secure, but I have a couple machines that need to auto-logon due to the users lack of computer literacy. Both are in "out of the way" areas and neither user has any special access...

Makes network access a bit un-secure! ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 2:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 7 Anyone been able to figure out how to get Windows 7 (in a Windows Server 2003) Active Directory to auto-logon? I've tried several things suggested here and things I've found on the web, but nothing works... still prompts for a username/password.
