Okay. Just for the sake of my own ignorance, why in the world would you want to setup auto-login on a server?

to have multi user support, one screen has an output to a television, second screen (which i normally have to login manually) is where most of the work gets done, theres multiple users with their own desktop, on one server, everything cant get done with just one display, and its a hassle to manually login everytime, IIS also requires and can be setup to run under multiple users, with interaction to desktop would again require multiple users, dont see why if one is able to login automatically (primary account) why multiple other accounts couldn't be setup to do the same, iis and desktop interaction, clearly thats already a self described statement, why couldnt you just say how to do it, (if possible)

Because I don't know, and I've never researched multiple logins on any type of server because I can't imagine a situation why one would want to do that.

If I were curious as to how to accomplish this, I would start with Google or the MSKB.

hitman3266 your description is very confused.

Only one user at a time can logon locally. There is no getting around that.

There is a workaround but that's call fast user switching.

Autologon is a registry setting and can only contain one account of your choice.

Perhaps you are asking about service accounts which are used to start an application or service?

Imagine the power of knowing how to internet search

no sadly i need an explorer.exe under every account, the applications im trying to use need a desktop and have to be able to interact with the desktop, services and services accounts wont work, but you understand what im trying to do. when you login with remote desktop, the user logs in permanently, i was hoping to achieve this on every startup

Guys from Logonexpert said me that this feature (multiple accounts autologon) is on their TO-DO list

Sincerely,
