Automaticaly Logon A Domain User
There may be cases where you would like a domain user to automatically log in. For example, I have a few customers who are manufactures. They have a high turnover of workers that they do not want to have to train on how to work the computer. They just want it logged in and ready to go and if a restart is necessary there is no log in procedures to document or teach.
Even though these computer are part of a domain, as are the user accounts, we want the computers to automatically log in to a specific account. Normally these accounts are heavily controlled via Group Policies.
Editing the following registry keys will accomplish this task:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- DefaultUserName
- DefaultPassword
- AutoAdminLogon
- DefaultDomainName
Additional Information:
The following link from Microsoft contains additional information including how to safely edit the registry and how to add keys if they do not exist.
