texasPI Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi guys, I just got my WHS 2011 up and running today and I've got a minor issue with the connector software. I installed it on my HTPC which I had set-up to auto logon but in the process of installing the WHS 2011 connector software I got a message telling me to disable auto logon in order to install the connector software. Is there a work around so I can keep auto logon enabled on my HTPC and still install connector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Can you turn off the auto login, install the connector, and then turn on the auto login? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasPI Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of this. I'm a little bleary-eyed from swapping components, re-routing cables etc. so that may have had something to do with it. What I did was a little different but just as effective. I just removed the password from the profile and my HTPC boots right into the desktop. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no-control Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 For anyone else having this issue or looking to use a password and auto logon click start type netplwiz uncheck "users must enter user name and password to use this computer" Click ok Re-enter your authentication credentials one last time Now your system will auto magically log on using the credentials you provided.

Cashable Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yep, ITTOG is absolutely correct. Worked on all my PC's So, OK, ITTOG is 'absolutely correct' to use as a successful solution to the autologin problem. Scouring Google for this 'solution' will be unsuccessful. The acronym ITTOG apparently refers to some contributor to this forum and not a method for getting autologon access to WHS 2011 from a client. For any casual observer, ITTOG is an abbreviated shortcut for "Im The Type Of Guy" and not a method for autologin as may be inferred by 'ITTOG is absolutely correct" above.

PCDoc was referring to the post directly above his from "I'mTheTypeOfGuy." To wit: turn of auto-logon, install the WHS 2011 connector, and turn auto-logon back on. P.S. you can also type "control userpasswords2" from the Run command (or use the network control panel wizard as explained by N-C. That's no-control for the rest of the Googlers. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 +1 to this tip. Perfect for my HTPC laptop. Like texasPI said, I don't know why I didn't think of this, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Was directed to this thread from the thread at http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2735-the-computer-cannot-be-connected-to-the-server-with-auto-log-on-turned-on/page__pid__26464#entry26464. Reading this thread I found the post below. Had to laugh at that one. So, OK, ITTOG is 'absolutely correct' to use as a successful solution to the autologin problem.
