Script that logs in a user

[techie08]

Does anyone have or know of a script that would log a user onto a pc? This would then enable me to log in on lots of computers at the same time rather that going to each machine.

 

Thanks

Sounds like a bit of a security risk to me as it would need to know your password.

Not sure about a script, but iTalc can log in multiple computers at a time, has other great features too.

Yep, I agree AB Tutor Control is the way to go! Or you can go for iTalc if you don't have the budget for ABT.

rem %1 is the room name %i is the computer number   %1-%1 = machine name

 

 

Our PC naming structure may not work for you with this script, however I am sure you can modify it to suit.

 

If you set a logon message to appear after hitting the CTRL-ALT-DEL you will have to do a run round OK'ing that manually but that's it.

Don't forget, you will need a script that reverses this process too, or scary things will happen!

That's what the autologon count is for.

 

Upon reboot that is decremented and when it reaches 0 the credentials are removed.

 

However I do have a removal script too, just to be on the safe side.

 

@echo off
if "%1" == "" goto end
for /l %%i in (0,1,30) do (
echo ===============================================================================
echo %1-%%i Started
echo ===============================================================================
start "%1-%i Removing Autologon" /min reg delete "\\%1-%%i\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /f /v AutoAdminLogon

Sorry, I missed that!

No problem, better to be safe than sorry.

If you use Remote Desktop you can save logon credentials, so you just have to specify the IP or workstation name.
