Logging into Windows

[batchfileman]

So I have a program that will send out a .bat file to computers on my domain and execute them once they arrive. I have a single login for all of the computers on my domain that I want to use to login and then run the rest of the batch file.

Is there code that would allow me to login to a machine this way?

Dunno. Search for Wake On LAN and psExec.

You can find the reg settings for autologon and import them via a batch file, copy another batch file to the startup folder, reboot using shutdown.exe, and then wipe the autologin reg settings using the batch file you put in the startup folder while calling a 3rd batch file that deletes the 2nd batch file from the startup folder. Could also use the runonce reg key in conjunction with the autologon stuff.

Hi,

you could use schtasks (exists on Vista, XP, perhaps also on W2000).

Normaly you use it for starting a process (on any computer) at a given time.
But if you set the starttime to 1.1.2000 then it will never start, but you can start it directly with /run.

So you can write

Code: Select all

schtasks /create /s client7 /u jeb /p secret /sc einmal /tn myTask /tr notepad /sd 01/01/2000 /st 00:00:00
schtasks /run /s client7 /u jeb /p secret /tn myTask
