Has anyone AUTOMATED / bypassed the log in screen in VNC/SC?

[BrandonJThomas]

I hate having to ask my customers to login everytime I reboot their pc. I know how to turn the this into a service, that is a breaze. But how do you automate the logon (userid/password) portion to allow for reconnect?

This can be done by using the Auto Logon procedure.

So when your client connected your viewer with SC, asking them to enable Auto Logon too -- you need to ask them to do so because this procedure need him/her to input the password, or unless you use an A/C that you know the password. After enable this feature the computer will logon to that client's A/C automatically when reboot.

Upon complete your job, just disable the Auto Logon then the pc will resume as before when boot up.

See how to enable Auto Logon at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/usin ... logon.mspx

:x I take it back, it isn't a breeze to turn the server into a service. Any suggestions? I am trying to reestablish the connection automatically after a reboot or when the connection breaks. Here's the error I get.
Error 1053. The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

Rather than have the SC running as a service, there is a work around to accomplish the reconnection after reboot.

I had derived a prcedure for PcHelpWare Service to reconnect after reboot (running on WinXP), this should be applicable to SC too.
