Need to autologin log in as user after MDT completes

Need to autologin log in as user after MDT completes. Can you assist with helping me achieve this? This is a must have as some software we use must be installed as the user after the machine has been imaged.
Thanks,
Michael

AutoLogon from Sysinternals is only telling half the story.
Although, technically yes, the value is "encrypted" in the registry.
It must be made clear that *any* administrator *can* extract the plaintext password saved using AutoLogon using a couple of LSA Win32 API calls: (see

Of course, any physical access to a machine is a risk. If you are not a admin on the machine you can simply create a bootdisk and grab what you need from there. I guess this is why it's important to encrypt your disks.

    If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, your keys may be dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a brushed vacuum hose to clear out the dirt & crumbs from underneath the keys.
    If you spilled liquid on the keyboard...
    Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery.  Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain.  Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture.  Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
    After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer.  You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
    Some users here swear by hairdryers.  Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components.  Better to let the computer air dry.
    Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer.  If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
    Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
    Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
    If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop.  Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage.

  • Logs of FireFighter user dont sync

    Hi experts,
    I need obtain the logs of emergency users from backend system. for this reason, i excute the progra GRAC_SPM_LOG_SYNC in SE38.
    The program runs with error: "LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT FOUND"
    Thanks and regards.
    Claudio

    Hi Claudio,
    The reports available for log collection and log notifications are:
    (1) GRAC_SPM_LOG_SYNC_UPDATE: This Report is used for log collection and if the configuration parameter 4007 in SPRO is set to YES, then this will send the log notifications also.
    (2) GRAC_SPM_LOG_UPDATE: This Report is internally called in GRAC_SPM_LOG_SYNC_UPDATE to collect logs for Firefighter IDs when application type (configuration parameter 4000) is 1.
    (3) GRAC_SPM_LOG_UPDATE_ROLE: This Report is internally called in GRAC_SPM_LOG_SYNC_UPDATE to collect logs for Firefighter Roles when application type (configuration parameter 4000) is 2.
    (4) GRAC_SPM_WORKFLOW_SYNC: When the configuration parameter 4007 is set to No i.e. the log notifications are not sent immediately when the logs are updated, then this report is used to let the notifications scheduled at specific time whenever required.
    Note: GRAC_SPM_LOG_SYNC report is an old report and should not be used for log collection.

  • After Time Machine backs up my file vault files (after logging out), when I next log into the user account it beachballs permanently during log in.

    After Time Machine backs up my file vault files (after logging out), when I next log into the user account it beachballs permanently during log in.  The backup was successful, as I had to restore after this issue last time.  Hard resetting doesn't resolve the issue.  Is there a Time Machine setting that I should be aware of?
    I have 2011 13" MBP, 10.6.8 and use an external hard drive connected via USB for my Time Machine backups.
    Thanks

    I was able to get it to work.  Thanks for your help.  It's unfortunate the two applications do not work well together.  This is what I did:
    1) Safe boot and logged into the affected user (since the whole issue damaged the account's system settings).
    2) Turned off File Vault in System Preferences. I needed to make some space on the hard drive first since apparently the total free space on the hard drive has to equal or exceed the amount of data currently in the file vault.  I deleted some files and moved others to the Admin account.  This whole process took awhile.
    3) Finally, just restarted and logged in.  The next time machine backup seems to be a significant backup, I assume because it's backing up the user account in a different way now that File Vault is turned off.
    Thanks again!

  • Log out user after an inactive period

    I am using DW CS3 and a MySQL database.
    Is there any way I can automatically log out a user if they have been inactive for a period of time?
    The reason I am asking, is that I have been testing my latest site and even if I close all windows in a browser (not quitting the browser) and then go to history, I can still get to protected pages. This could maybe a potential problem if users never quit their browser, they could still be logged in after days of inactivity.
    This is about my 5th site I have created using ADDT. The more I use the more I find it capable of. But this has me stumped.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    PM

    Hi Paul,
    checking a user´s inactivity could mean checking if his/her session still runs of if it´s expired by now -- whenever you apply a "Restrict access to Page" behaviour to whatever page, this behaviour will not just check things like user levels etc, but also if the session is still running.
    As this behaviour also cares for a redirection to your login page, I think you should apply this to every page which needs this kind of protection.

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

  • [solved] pm-utils, how to run a script as logged-in user AFTER resume

    All the scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d are run as root. Is there any way for me to put a script such that it runs as my logged-in user AFTER all the scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d. I tried putting su -c "command" - <username> but that doesn't have the full user environment, hence dbus session bus doesn't work yet.
    EDIT: Solved: see solution by lucke below.

    It might help to know what command you're having trouble with--perhaps there's a better/easier way to execute it.
    The scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d are called in numeric order during suspend.  That is, if you have a script titled 44-myfix-for-foo, it will run before a script titled 88-myfix-for-bar.  These scripts are then executed in reverse order upon resume.

  • Need to display last login details to the user after they login into portal

    Hi All,
    As per our requirement ,we need to display to the user,the following things:
    1.Last login date and time will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
    2.Last unsuccessful login date and time will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
    3.No. of unsuccessful retrials before locking the user will be maintained and displayed to the user after   login.
    Therefore we are creating a webdynpro application wherein we are making use of the UME API and trying to retireve these information.
    The methods i am using are:
    IUserAccount.getLastFailedLogonDate() // To fetch the Last unsuccessful login date and time
    IUserAccount.getFailedLogonAttempts() // No. of unsuccessful retrials
    IUserAccount.getLastSuccessfulLogonDate() // Last login date and time
    But the problem is IUserAccount.getLastSuccessfulLogonDate() is deprecated and i unable to use it,and also i  am unable to get the value *IUserAccount.getFailedLogonAttempts() * I am only geting zero.Can anybody let me know alternative method to get this details.
    Request you to guide me and help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    I hope you are trying to show your login date from SharePoint List.
    My suggestion is 
    1. by using ECMA Script ,retrieve values from that list and show the same in Master Page.
    2. If you are not comfortable with ECMA, develop Visual Webpart and add the Visual Webpart in master page by using SharePoint Designer.
    Please let me know ,if you need further guidance.
    Don't forget to mark it as an Answer if it resolves your issue and Vote Me as helpful if it useful.

    reasons why i had to do this but i could not see a compat issue ? This is only
    test bed as well, not a production configuration.
    Followed all v2 post-install tasks - httpd.conf/wdbsvr.app .
    DAD/modplsql config OK.
    On connection to admin interface - host:port/pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin, gives what i would call the 'standard' browser logon page ? Not the htmldb logon template
    Thought it may be issue with images alias but don't really know and cannot see issue with config files ?
    Regards
    A

    Do you have an alias setup for the images directory? For example -
    Alias /i/ "....path to images directory..."If not, then that's probably the cause of your problem. If you do have that entry, then check that the path is correct, and check that the permissions on that directory are such that the user that the webserver is running as can access the directory.

  • Combine Chat Logs from Each User

    Hi there,
    Is anyone aware of an add-on or method for combining the chat logs of each user into ONE file?
    I very rarely leave chat windows open throughout the day, which means that if I have several conversations with one person, I end up with multiple logs for that person in one day. This means that if I need to go back and read someone's log, I have to search through multiple logs if I don't remember the exact time of the conversation that took place. I'd much rather look at one person's entire log over the course of one entire day (at least), if possible.
    Can anyone help, or is this impossible? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Which version of iChat ?
    iChat 5 can be set to display the Last Chat when opening a new Chat with someone (as long as you are Saving Transcripts as well)
    iChat 4 can "Remember Open Chats across Launch" which means if you close iChat with a chat open that chat will also open when the Buddy lists appear/iChat is restarted.
    I am not aware of anything that can merge several Chats though.

  • Cannot log into my user account

    After rebooting the MPro I am unable to log into my acount. The system comes up to the login screen and on entering the password to my account it thinks for a while and then cycles back to the login screen. If i enter a wrong password - system rejects it. I can log into guest user though

    Symptom: After applying an update or some kind of instance where a shutdown occurred, upon rebooting, Mac OS X will demand a password for System.keychain. No password will ever work, not even root.
    NOW FOR THE SOLUTION...
    WARNING: This assumes that you are competent with the command line AND you have a working copy of OS X somewhere else nearby, preferably on an external disk partition. I'm not going to explain the basics of using the Terminal or how to access both of your systems at the same time. If you are afraid of screwing up, simply reinstall Mac OS X and say a few prayers that it will fix itself (assuming that another Software Update won't mess it up again).
    The problem lies with a file deep in the bowels of OS X. It's /var/db/SystemKey. What it does is that it tells Mac OS X how to unlock the system keychain. It only knows the System.keychain specific to the computer, so if you import another System.keychain as a replacement, SystemKey won't know how to unlock it and you'll keep getting the annoying dialogs prompting for System.keychain's password.
    So without further ado, this is how to stop the annoying dialogs once and for all:
    1. AS THE ROOT USER, you will need to copy over /var/db/SystemKey from a known good system to your problematic system. Make sure that you preserve the permissions (0400). It is advisable that you are NOT booted from your problematic system.
    2. If you have a good System.keychain, copy that over to /Library/Keychains on the problem system. If you accidentally deleted System.keychain, you can execute the following (again AS ROOT):
    /usr/sbin/systemkeychain -C -f
    This creates a new, working, empty System.keychain and effectively overwrites the old keychain.
    3. Reboot to your system. You will be presented with different, more familiar (Change, Change All) dialogs. If you had any passwords saved in your list of preferred networks, just put them back in.
    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.
