How To Enable Automatic Logon on Windows 2000 Server

In actual work, especially on servers, it is usually 7 × 24 hours. For this reason, many system programs have the function of restarting the server after the server crashes, that is, the Watchdog function ). For example, if an unattended DVR (Digital Video Recorder Digital Hard Drive Video Recorder) is abnormal, the Reset is automatically restarted ). However, if the system uses the Windows 2000 Server platform, it is critical to automatically log on to Windows 2000 by skipping the password. In Windows 2000 Professional, you can set automatic logon by setting the user and password in the program. You do not need to enter the user name and password to directly access the system. However, in Windows 2000 Server and Advanced, this method is invalid. Through exploration, we found that the following method is very useful.

You can modify the registry. The procedure is as follows:

Run regedit32.exe to find

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE MicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon

Set the value of DefaultDomainName to the domain name when you log on normally, the value of defauserusername to the user name when you log on normally, and the value of defapassword password to the password when you log on normally. Note: For a Super User, the password cannot be blank. Otherwise, you can log on only once automatically.

Select AutoAdminLogon as the key value, set the value to REG_SZ, and set the value to 1.

Then save the registry, and automatically log on to Windows 2000 after it is turned off.

Of course, there is a noteworthy problem, that is, the security problem after a super user logs on. We use a program to take over the keyboard to avoid illegal use.

In addition, a flexible method is to take the time program as a service, which can be started without the user's logon, thus avoiding automatic login.
