Why do we use auto logon in Windows Server 2003? People will say: It is not secure, and I don’t want to use it. I will say: This function is so useful, but only for the specific purpose such as testing and some automated jobs.
Just imagine that if you want to run some automated jobs, but they will cause the reboot, will you spend time waiting in front of your PC in order to manually logon to your PC and move on to the next step? Probably not.
What if these jobs cause the reboot many times? Do you still want to wait? Therefore, the best way is to use auto logon!
How do we configure the function of auto logon? It is so simple as follows:
1. Click Start, run, and enter regedit.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. You can see AutoAdminLogon and DefaultUserName.
3. Just create a name DefaultPassword and add your password.
4. Just set AutoAdminLogon=1.
Next time when you restart your PC, it will automatically logon to your PC.
The only disadvantage is that when someone logons to your PC, he can know your password in the registry key. So be careful when you want to use this function.
