With WXP PCs, we would periodicly needed to enable auto logon in labs for special purposes. We have a Group Policy that sets the AutoAdminLogon, DefaultDomainName, DefaultPassword, and DefaultUserName keys via Computer Configuration settings. This Group Policy works, Computer Configuration GP is processed and the computer does an autologon. Im now trying to do that same thing on W7 and it is not working. The keys are getting set but it is not auto logging on until the next reboot. I have tried setting the keys via ADMX, via GP preferences, and via a Computer Startup script. In every case I can see the keys get set before the logon appears but it does not autologon until I reboot. The group policy log shows the keys get set before it starts processing the user group policy settings. We use Deepfreeze so a reboot is out of the question. Is it no longer possible to enable autologon via group policy and have it take affect without a reboot? The fact that it works after a reboot tells me I have the correct keys. It seems like GP processing has changed and no longer allows this to happen.

Hi, This would be related to Group Policy issue, it is recommended to post at Group Policy forum for further help: Group Policy Forum As an alternative, you could try the following tool: Autologon Hope it helps.
