Unattended Login Tips

Keywords:      login logon

Here are some tips on unattended logins:

1. In Control Panel, Network:

   Set the Primary Network Login to Windows Login with a null (blank) password string, so you will not be prompted at login time.

2. In Control Panel, Network, Access Control tab:

   Select Share Level Access Control. Also, make sure that the Obtain Lists of Users and Groups from entry is blank; this will avoid the computer prompting to login to the Netware server on startup. It was also necessary to enable File Sharing through the System Policy Editor.

3. In Control Panel, Network, Configuration tab, Client for Netware Networks, Properties, General tab:

   Make sure that the preferred Server entry is blank. This is also necessary to avoid the computer prompting to login to the Netware server on startup.

An alternative method for unattended startup is to use Tweak UI (Microsoft's freeware PowerToy). The Tweak UI Network tab can be set to auto-login on startup. This is simpler; the only problem is that if the computer re-boots overnight when the account can't login, then it pauses at startup for user input.

Then use the WinBatch network extenders to login and logout as required.
