| Guest | autologon I would like an autolog for a local user for a set of computer on Vista Enterprise or Ultimate in an Active Directory domain. Autologon account would be a local account on the system The system would be part of Active Directory Is that solution can be managed through group policy for Vista Enterprise and Ultimate? |

| Guest | RE: autologon Yes, you can manage it through Group Policy, but you would have to write the template to do so yourself. Furthermore, that template would include the password used for logon in cleartext in the template. The registry keys you need to set are documented in: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231 --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "wsms" wrote: > I would like an autolog for a local user for a set of computer on Vista > Enterprise or Ultimate in an Active Directory domain. > Autologon account would be a local account on the system > The system would be part of Active Directory > > Is that solution can be managed through group policy for Vista Enterprise > and Ultimate? > > > |

There may be other mitigation steps you would want to put in, depending on your particular circumstance - consider what it would mean to your environment to have this user's password be public. Make sure you mitigate any threats. Alun. ~~~~ |
