Banging my head on the wall with this one...

I have a Win Server 2012r2 server running as a DC and nothing I do can get the AutoLogonAdmin to actually login properly.

  • I tried the recommended SysInternals tool (Autologon - Windows Sysinternals) and it says it succeeded and it creates the registry keys needed, but doesn't work.
  • I tried disabling it with the SysInternals tool and then creating the keys manually (including the DefaultPassword key) but it still doesn't work.

After a reboot I get to the screen to pick the user account: 1299991.jpg


If I click on the Administrator user I am prompted for the password but if I just click the back button in the top left the HyperV window flashes down then back up and I get to the Adminstrator desktop. I need it to logon all the way to the desktop automatically as I think this is what's stopping my on-logon scheduled task from running correctly.

Any suggestions?
