How can one automatically logon to multiple user accounts in Windows 2008 R2
Solution 1:
One way is to change user account settings.
- Go to Start Button and type Run
- Type control userpasswords2
- Clear the tick box on "users must enter a username and password to use this computer"
If you are doing on a server, the message will not appear. You need to change some registry values.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Edit these values
- AutoAdminLogon 1
- DefaultUserName A username to be used for automatic logon
- DefaultPassword The password for the username
- ForceAutoLogon 1
As soon as you change the AutoAdminLogon to 1, then you will see the tick box with message under the User Accounts settings.
