Auto-Login for PACs

[James Gilbert]

Hi John,

 

Are these Windows Machines?

If so:

 

Go to START >> RUN; type "control userpasswords2"

There should be an option to allow auto login to the computer.

(You will select the user, then enter the password).

 

I run Windows 7, and Faronics Suite (Deep Freeze, A/V, Anti-executable) with
no staff intervention.

You can always use a free program called LibKi.  Check out Libki.org.

We will be implementing Deep Freeze on our PACs in the coming months. We
will be having the machines reboot in between sessions to ensure that the
PCs are truly restored to a clean system. However, we are looking for a way
to avoid having staff have to log the machines in each time/in between the
sessions. Anyone have an auto-login process in place to address this? I am
aware of the "control userpasswords2" utility, which is put in place before
freezing the machine, but looking for some advice on how to best do this.

 

Thanks in advance,
