automatic reboot & login

[Dagk]

Hi,

I want to schedule an NT server to shutdown, restart and automatically log itself in. I know that I can use the shutdown.exe command in the NT Resource Kit to shut the server down and reboot it. How do I then get the server to log in automatically as the administrator just for this session?

I know that I can edit the registry to automatically log in the administrator with the administrator password but this means that it will never ask for the administrator password. I only want the administrator to log in automatically for the scheduled reboot. For normal reboots I want the server to request an ID and password. Any suggestions.....?

make a batch file to remove that reg string after every reboot.

Then before ur reboot schedule runs make another one which will re-insert the correct information?

Bit untidy but it will do the job
