Hi, I've enabled auto login following these instructions http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsXP/RegistryTips/Security/AutomaticLogon.html and now I can't RDP to the server. How do I get RDP to work again? Thanks.

RDP and Auto-login are mutually exclusive because it would represent a serious security risk Disabling auto-login would likely restore RDP access. If you can explain more about what you are trying to do, someone might be able to recommend a viable alternative. -- Mike Burr

What happens when you try? Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]

I get Access is denied. This is for citrix servers. I need them to to be logged on at all times due to the way our user profile deletion is set up. If I can't have auto login and RDP enabled at the same time then I guess I'll just have to live with it. Thanks.

Are you asking about autologon to client machine or citrix server or from citrix session to other machine or perhaps something else? What operating systems are involved? Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Sorry I want admin account to auto log on to citrix servers running windows 2008 every time servers get a reboot. I enabled this via registry keys but somehow I can not RDP to citrix servers. I get access is denied.

Sorry I might have not explained clearly. I'm looking for auto login process for windows server 2008, not citrix.

Hi, Have you tried using Auto Logon , a utility of sysinternal http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963905.aspx

This article should sort it. How to turn on automatic logon in Windows http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324737/en-us Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Hi Dave, That's exactly what I did but for some reason it disabled RDP to the box. I think I'll go with sysinternal utility. Thanks guys for your help.
