Auto Logon Not Working

philmcmannis · Post by **philmcmannis** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 2:19 pm

Hello

By group policy my CPU locks every 15 minutes. I have tried to use the auto logon setting to run a macro after locking but it does not work. The Ctrl Alt Del command goes through when it tried to lock, but Macro Scheduler does not input the password I have supplied.

I am running XP SP 2 in a corporate network environment w group policies if that helps.

Thanks!

I should add that the user name is pre-populated when trying to unlock and Macro Scheduler is making no attempt to change this. ( I tried putting in a wrong username in the auto logon settings and it did not change the name when trying to unlock.

AutoLogon has been tested successfully on vanilla default installations of XP, 2000 and 2003. Unfortunately, AutoLogon works for some people, but not for others. There are infinite security settings and service packs and it simply cannot work for every possible setup. Vista already renders it useless and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before service packs for XP/2003 are released to tighten security and fix the same hole that AutoLogon exploits. Due to the sheer number of possible security policies/settings/service packs etc we simply cannot guarantee that it will work for everyone.
