Situation: We have a video server here which will record activity to hard disk. The vendor typically rolls the system out in a Windows 98 environment. I told the vendor I really didn't want to roll a 98 machine into our environment. They said they could support XP as well. I said "go" with XP. Received the video server - and they had loaded W2K Pro on it instead of XP, which I was expecting.
I joined the system to our domain so that we could remote manage, print images, and transfer files from the system as necessary.
They originally had the system set up to auto-logon with a local user account because the video capturing software does not run as a service. It must be run from an interactive session.
After I joined the domain - I set the registry to auto logon with a domain account. Hard coded the password in the registry. Normal user only.
Problem is that our domain legalnotice policy overrides local policy on the system. As a result - when you bounce the system - which does have the user-id, password, and domain all hard-coded - the system will log on automatically EXCEPT that the domain legal notice screen pops up and requires someone to press the enter key before the logon will complete. As a result - if we were to lose power in the building and the server went down for any reason - the cameras would not automatically start back up until someone physically pressed the enter button on the legal notice screen.
So - the question is: Do you know of a way to tell the workstation in the registry, or otherwise, to truly auto-logon, so we can skip this splash screen?
Thanks
