Hi. I want to schedule my server to reboot. I already know how to do
this with scheduled task and the shutdown.exe utility.
However, I need a specific user account to automatically logon upon
reboot, as this user needs to be logged in for some jobs to run.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks.
Please follow the instructions from:

Thanks for the link, but I don't want to permanently overwrite the
login settings. If I do what that article said, then everyone who
subsequently tries to remote desktop to the server will be logged in
under the username I specify. I don't want to change the behaviour,
but just want one user account to log in to the server. Is there a
scheduled task I can set up that will kick off a remote desktop
session that logs into the server?
Hey,
The link I gave earlier would have the following scenario:
- User reboots the server (through RDP or on-site), and the server will auto
logon (on the console). However if you RDP, you/whoever will still need to
authenticate b4 they can log on to the server.
However for users who are on-site, they will be able to use the server when
someone restarts it. To combat this, you can create a shortcut to Lock the
server and put the shortcut into the Startup folder.
Using the method from the link doesn't mean that users who log on through
RDP no need to authenticate.

That sounds like it might work, thanks.
