Looking for free/opensource software or client to allow me to mass-login to Windows

[sfigg]

We pay for a very limited NetSupport license for some of our labs, but I was looking for something free and small to put on every machine in our district that would allow us to force a Windows login. There are some programs or reasons why we would want groups of machines to login to Windows as a domain admin, and it would save a bunch of time instead of us going to them all manually. Not sure if something like this exists, but I've spent a lot of time googling stuff and haven't found anything.

Sorry, but my best suggestion would be AB Tutor Control (which can do this, and has small client). It's not free, but you only have to pay for the controller licenses (you could just buy one, roughly $410). https://www.abtutor.com/product.

 

I've never found a free/Open Source product that can do what it can.

If they are to be logged in all the time as the same account create a group policy and use the auto login with a specified account and then it logs and its only a reboot of the machine for it to take affect. Used to do it with our low spec PC's we made into a thin client so go them to login to a restricted account and then into citrix.

Try this:

 

iTALC

Not sure italc works with 7 or 8.

don't know about win 8 but looks like you might be in luck with 7

Sorry, brief PDA post!. It does work reasonably well on 7, but the logon feature didn't in 2.0.1 .
