Vista - Re: Open a "real" session on a remotely PC

Hi Francois,

I think you mean to logon starting from the "Press CTRL+ALt+DEL" screen. If
so, there's no direct way to do it. For security reasons, Windows doesn't
allow to logon programmatically. Anyway, Windows permits to autologon at
boot, simply changing some registry keys. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231/en-us
This is enough if you need to keep the system always logged on (even when
rebooted). If you need to logon/logoff at needing, you should theoretically
use this workaround (need to have remote registry enabled and administrative
rights on the remote machine):

1) set the registry to autologon
2) put a script in the Startup folder (or schedule a script at logon)
3) reboot
4) from the script you put in the Startup folder, remove the registry keys
for autologon
5) remove the script from the Startup folder (or from scheduled tasks)
6) do what you have to do
7) issue a logoff

This is only a trace, but should work.

Massimo.
