758769 - Auto-login for win64 slaves is not working after re-imaging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(from bug 756127)

There is still one more manual step which is to fix auto-login:
http://www.expta.com/2008/04/how-to-enable-autologon-for-windows.html

This is what I do manually on the slave after re-imaging it:
* Click Start, Run and enter control userpasswords2
* "check" and "uncheck" the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option
* click "OK"
* a Window prompts you to choose the user and the password to auto-login with

MaRu, is that something you can automate with another step?

There IS a registry key for this (at least in w2k3) catch me on IRC over the next few days and I can find it and share its location for you guys incase it is at the same spot in w2k8 for this. If it is, should be able to be automated.

It seems that my steps did not work properly or the machine got re-imaged since last Friday.

I have verified that the steps from the article work as expected.

To be clear, this is what happens when joining a domain (not sure if it is our case):
"Once you join a server to a domain, Windows will automatically delete the AutoAdminLogon value from the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon registry key"

I fixed the issue by updating the LTICleanup.wsf 
The lines modified were (password has been taken out for security reasons)

oShell.RegWrite "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AutoAdminLogon", "1", "REG_SZ"
		oShell.RegWrite "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultUserName", "cltbld", "REG_SZ"
		oShell.RegWrite "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultDomainName", "", "REG_SZ"
		oShell.RegWrite "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultPassword", "*********", "REG_SZ"
		oShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AutoLogonCount", &H00000000, "REG_DWORD"
		On Error Goto 0

This should have fixed our autologin issue.
