Windows Autologin Cookbook
Enables/disables automatic logon using Windows
AutoAdminLogon.
Automatic logon uses username (domain can be included, e.g.,
domain\username) and password stored in the registry to log users on
to the computer when the system starts. The Log On to Windows dialog
box is not displayed.
Use count to limit the Number of Automatic Logins. Once the limit has
been reached the auto logon feature will be disabled.
WARNING: Automatic logon allows other users to start your computer
and to log on using your account, password is stored
unencrypted under windows registry
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon when
enabled, and Chef outputs the password when updating autologin registry.
Requirements
- Chef 11.6+ (includes a built-in registry_key resource)
Platforms
- Windows
Usage
Requires Administrator privileges.
Enable automatic login for user
windows_autologin 'enable autologin' do username 'username' password my_secret action :enable end
Disable automatic login and remove password and count entry
