Enable Auto Logon (VBScript) by monsterjta

faq329-6520

Posted: 21 Jan 07 (Edited 25 Mar 07)

This VBScript will enable auto logon to a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 server, or a Windows 2000/XP workstation. Run this script directly on the server or workstation that you wish to have auto logon configured.

Save this code with a .vbs extension. Then, specify values for the following, (removing the brackets in the code):

valDefaultDomainName
valDefaultUserName
valDefaultPassword
