Hello Microsoft Community,

I've been having a problem with a guest account I want to add to my organizations systems. On each machine I want to add a local guest account that does not need a password to login, yet whenever you boot the system up, it automatically logs in to the guest account due to there being no password.

Does anyone have an answer to help?

Thank you,
Dmitry

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to AutoLogin.

    You can use Below registry settings for Auto Login and push it via GPO

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

    "AutoAdminLogon"="1"

    "DefaultUserName"="your-admin-account"

    "DefaultDomainName"="yourdomain.local"

    "DefaultPassword"="YourAdminPasswordRevealedToThePublicByAStupidAdmin"
