Powershell Remote Logon

[IT_JB]

Does anyone know if it's possible to trigger a remote logon using powershell? I know remote logoff is, but I can't find any documentation on a logon command.

 

I'm looking at ways to speed up the start of lessons in the ICT suites by giving the teachers a script to remotely login their year group.

Impero manages it via their UI, but i don't know how.

A system like Impero or Senso would be ideal but these are small primaries to there's no hope of getting the budget for that unfortunately.

Only thing I can think of is putting the username and password in the autologin part of the registry, then rebooting

and set AutoLogonCount to 1

+1 for auto login or RDP to login, lock the workstation

then powershell for remote unlock

 

Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'RemoteMachine' -ScriptBlock { rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation }

This seems like something that could work, need to work out how to handle computers that are left on/in use. Thanks!

Isn't that a remote lock, not a remote unlock?
