Autologin for Windows environments

Especially in training environments, it may be desired that the deskMate Cloud Desktops automatically logs in with the correct user at startup. This way, the participant only needs to log in to the deskMate portal and not to log in to the operating system as well.

Enclosed are instructions on how this auto login can be implemented in Windows environments.

To do this, the following must be changed in the Windows Registry (only possible with admin rights):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
String „DefaultUserName“ -> user name
String „DefaultPassword“ -> password (If password is empty, just leave it empty too. But the entry is necessary).
String „AutoAdminLogon“ -> 1

Here is an example entry for the auto login of the user Administrator for which no password is set.
