Hi,

Is it possible to get a Windows XP Sp2 pc to automatically logon and
authenticate the user account against a windows 2003 active directory domain
controller. In addition I want to customise the pc so that when it logs on
it opens a specific application full screen and stops the users from using
any other xp component. The pc's are to be used in a factory (manufacturing)
environment with touch screens.

Yes. The 'Control userpasswords2' applet will not let you do this directly
with a domain account, but it works if you make the settings manually. You
need to go into the Winlogon registry key and manually set "AutoAdminLogon"
to 1. Also set "ForceAutoLogon" to 1 to prevent logoff.

You might also like to give MyLogon a try -this requires the user to
authenticate, but will confine work to a single app, with no desktop.

yours.)

you can use a GPO to let a computer logon automaticly

CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY "System"
CATEGORY "Logon"
POLICY "AutoLogon"
EXPLAIN "These settings can be used to allow the system to logon
automatically. To enable autologon, set the first two settings
(AutoAdminLogon and ForceAutologon) to 1, and then fill in the
appropriate account information. Keep in mind that this information will
be stored in cleartext in the systems registry."
KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"

PART "AutoAdminLogon" NUMERIC REQUIRED TXTCONVERT
VALUENAME "AutoAdminLogon"
MIN 0 MAX 1 DEFAULT "1" SPIN 1
END PART

PART "ForceAutoLogon" NUMERIC REQUIRED TXTCONVERT
VALUENAME "ForceAutoLogon"
MIN 0 MAX 1 DEFAULT "1" SPIN 1
END PART

PART "DefaultUserName" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
VALUENAME "DefaultUserName"
DEFAULT "Erik" MAXLEN 128
END PART


PART "DefaultPassword" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
VALUENAME "DefaultPassword"
DEFAULT "P@ssw0rd" MAXLEN 128
END PART

PART "DefaultDomainName" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
VALUENAME "DefaultDomainName"
DEFAULT "Domain" MAXLEN 128
END PART

PART "AltDefaultUserName" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
VALUENAME "AltDefaultUserName"
DEFAULT "Erik" MAXLEN 128
END PART

PART "AltDefaultDomainName" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
VALUENAME "AltDefaultDomainName"
DEFAULT "Should match domain above" MAXLEN 128
END PART

END POLICY
END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY

or a registry key that edits SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"

or create a .reg

with :

oWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="accountname\domain"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultPassword"="P@ssw0rd"


if you have multiple domains i recommend using the username\domain as
a username
