But "userpasswords2 wasn't resolving in a 2008R2 HPc server and since I'm unfamiliar with this method of autologon (because it isn't something I frequently do and always used TweakUI on older servers which just jammed it plain text into the Registry)<br /><br />Instead just sarcastically thanking Mr. Guillet for what is usually top notch advice but demanding my money back, did some research and learned certain versions of Windows 7 and Windows since are still "userpasswords2" capable but also might use<br /><br />netplwiz.exe<br /><br />It is usually in %systemroot%\system32 and has more SxS twins than hooker blisters so it is easily accessible from the Search, Run, DOSCMD/ PowerShell, any dialog box fires it off.<br /><br />In HPC, had to hit the Advanced tab, disarm my account with juse one password entry, but was prompted for a double confirmation and it was effective immediately.<br /><br />This thing is taking longer to build than I thought and since I'm building it in private and on a secure network, I'm happy to leave it blank and open for now until deployment.<br /><br />No idea if the ineffectual no usercontrol2 is just another HPC muance or what the hell....
