Something like this....

Code:


$sComp="remote computer"

$domain="your domain"

$user="your useraccount"

$password="your password"

$dom = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultDomainName",$Domain,"REG_SZ")

$usr = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultUserName",$User,"REG_SZ")

$pas = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultPassword",$Password,"REG_SZ")

$frc = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","ForceAutoLogon","1","REG_SZ")

$aut = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","AutoAdminLogon","1","REG_SZ")

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I much prefer TweakUI to the old reg hack method for two reasons. 1. Tweak hides the password in a hidden are of the reg. 2. Even if you override the autologon at the keyboard, TweakUI still remembers the password at the next boot while the reg hack does not. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les, I can imagine you prefer Tweakui but I am 100 % sure that the above posted code remembers the password at the next boot... _________________________ Co

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Hmmm... sounds like a challenge. OK, Hold down the shift key to subvert and logon locally, not to the domain. Now reboot. I rest my case! _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

OK you can use Remote Desktop... But when you need a quick an dirty solution hacking the registry good enough for me... _________________________ Co

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Right you are... The reg hack is easy to do either remotely or by script. We have dozens of PCs that autologon in an industrial setting and the problem we had with the reg hack was that if someone subverted the logon, the password would disappear and an admin would have to be called to re-enter it. Also, for security reasons, nobody but the admins are supposed to know the password. The machines are locked down with access to external media but if a user could logon at another machine that was not locked down, they could use the external media there to transfer stuff over the network. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Finbom Finbom Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-06-27 Posts: 21	Hi! What I want to do is to send a scheduled WakOnLan signal to a selected pc and also send a account id and password that should be used to logon to the network. I dont want to use the registrykeys for autologon becuse the machine will sometimes need to be used by some other users. Regards, Magnus Finbom

this will disable the autologon....

Code:


$dom = = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultDomainName","","REG_SZ")

$usr = = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultUserName","","REG_SZ")

$frc = = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","ForceAutoLogon","0","REG_SZ")

$aut = = WriteValue($sComp+"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","AutoAdminLogon","0","REG_SZ")
