automatic login

How can I setup a specific computer to automatically log in (skip the
Cntl+Alt+Del requirements) if it is a member of a Domain?

I have a security server that has the security cameras intstalled that has
been spontaneously rebooting in the middle of the night. Until I am able to
figure out what is causing the problem, I need it to log back in so the
security cameras will record.

Thanks

On w2k pro...

In the registry goto: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

Modify the following data values for the string values:
•“AutoAdminLogon� = 1
•“DefaultDomainName� = “nameofdomain�
•“DefaultUserName� = "domainusername"

Create a new string value, select Edit > New > String Value, and type:
“DefaultPassword�
Modify the data value for the string value:
•“DefaultPassword� = Enter the password of the domain user account to be used

Settings will take effect on next reboot. (Note: you can bypass autologon
by holding down shift on boot up)

Is this the same for XP? (I forgot to specify before)

Thanks for the help!
