How can I setup a specific computer to automatically log in (skip the
Cntl+Alt+Del requirements) if it is a member of a Domain?

I have a security server that has the security cameras intstalled that has
been spontaneously rebooting in the middle of the night.  Until I am able to
figure out what is causing the problem, I need it to log back in so the
security cameras will record.

Thanks

On w2k pro...

In the registry goto:  \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

Modify the following data values for the string values:
•“AutoAdminLogon” = 1
•“DefaultDomainName” = “nameofdomain”
•“DefaultUserName” = "domainusername"

Create a new string value, select Edit > New > String Value, and type: 
“DefaultPassword”
Modify the data value for the string value:
•“DefaultPassword” = Enter the password of the domain user account to be used

Settings will take effect on next reboot.  (Note: you can bypass autologon
by holding down shift on boot up)

Is this the same for XP?  (I forgot to specify before)

Thanks for the help!
