430832 - vista talos boxes don't reboot cleanly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[alice nodelman [:alice] [:anode]]

These machines need to:

- auto login 
- start a cmd process as administrator
- start the buildbot slave

Also, need to apply bug 420216 to the vista ref image for proper process killing on failure.

- auto login
* run netplwiz - Uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer option'

- auto-run talos
* create batch file startTalos.bat
** cd c:\
** buildbot start talos-slave
* follow directions on http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-for-windows-has-blocked-some-startup-programs-error/
** need this to be able to run with administrative privileges 
** create a scheduled task that starts startTalos.bat

Installation instructions:

- turn off auto start on speedswitch

- grab rebootXP.zip, unzip in c:\
* run reboot.bat
* set up autologin (ensure it is for the mozqa account)
* remote reboot.bat (rm reboot.bat)

- attempt a reboot, does it start back up correctly?
* auto logged in?
* throttling correct?
* buildbot started?

(Correct) Installation instructions:

* set up auto start (needs to set user based upon current machine name)
** use the xml file called startTalos.xml on the desktop

- do a test reboot
* did auto login happen?
