Autologon after joining domain

swain90 · 1 Jun 2016 at 12:58

Hi All,

I'm about to tear my hair out here as I cannot get a machine to autologon after it's joined to a domain. The script I run joins a Windows7Pro client to a domain, sets all the autologon information, DefaultDomain, DefaultUser, DefaultPassword and it still reboots with CTRL + ALT + Delete.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

Have you tried the following:

Start > Run :Typing "netplwiz" > Advanced > Uncheck "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete"

It may stioll ask for a user password though...

I'm after a unattended solution.

For some reason it changes AutoAdminLogon to 0 and removes my DefaultPassword value

Group Policy restrictions?

It's not something most organisations allow.

This is for a setup I'm using. I can't see anything in the GPO's I set on the DC.

The method I'm trying works fine on a Server 2008R2 box which sits in the same OU and has same GPO's applied to it.

Had a fresh set of eyes look over it and there was "AutoLogonCount" = 0 which shouldn't have been there. I think that was the issue.
