Autologon problem -need to interrupt

Post by janet thomas » Mon Dec 12, 2005 9:56 am

We have just starting rolling out FrontMotion in our county and have installed in 135 schools so far. We are very happy with it but have a problem with autologon in the nursery schools.

On the school LAN (w2003 server with xp clients), we use a GPO with a custom ADM to set the defaultusername and defaultpassword in the registry. Without Frontmotion, when you boot a PC, it logs on automatically to the specified account. When you log OFF, you are returned to the MS Logon screen with blanks in the user name which allows you to enter a different account. (i.e. the autologon only happens from a reboot). With FrontMotion installed, the PC logs on automatically as expected but when you logoff off, it just turns around an logs on again. This is a problem when a supervisor needs to logon as the autologon account is a very limited student account. Is there anyway to interrupt this so that you can logon with another account id?

Yup, hold down shift as you are logging out until it goes back to the login screen. It won't automatically login as the limited user.
