Question

I would like to know how can I

1. power on a remote computer 
2. automatically log in (that client does have username and password to log in) with a given pair of username and password

I finish the first and wonder if the second is possible ? Any help is appreciated. Thank you a lot.

Answer 1

You can use the registry to auto login a computer. The key you need is:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Change AutoAdminLogon to 1.

Set DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword to the accounts username and password.

If the values don’t exist just create them. Usually AutoAdminLogon and DefaultUserName are already there but you may have to create DefaultPassword.

Hope this helps!
