My notes, things I have learned, and documentation I have created.

I don’t really like to do this, but sometimes you are left with no choice. Here is how to have a Windows server automatically login to the Administrator account:

Run regedit.

Navigate to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

Right mouse click on Winlogon and add the following String Values with the following settings:

“AutoAdminLogon”=”1”
“DefaultUsername”=”mydomain\Administrator”
“DefaultPassword”=”mypassword”

Then, reboot.
