Autologon problem -need to interrupt
Posted: 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?
