Windows 7 auto login on a domain

[nitrobass24]

trying to setup some domain computers to auto login, but the usual methods arent working.

Anyone do this on Win7?

 

[XOR != OR]

regedit
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

AutoAdminLogon = 1
DefaultUsername = <username>
DefaultPassword = <password>
DefaultDomain = <domain>

I'm doing this from memory, but that should do it.

Does "control userpasswords2" not work on a domain in win7? I know it is an option with one not on a domain. Don't want to rdp into a clients machine to try it out.

For me the checkbox for "user does not need a password" or whatever it says is not there unless i login as a domain admin. I want to use a standard user account.

Ok after some more googling i have ended up with the following and its working.

AutoAdminlogon 1
DefaultDomainName <domain>
DefaultUserName <username>
DefaultPassword <pass>
ForceAutoLogon 1

ForceAutoLogon seems to have done the trick, hopefully this helps someone else.

So you configure it as a domain admin on the machine telling it to use another account. Prob wanted local admin rights which I'm guessing your other account didn't have?

Guess it doesn't matter at this point though.
