I’m new to this great forum.
Ok, I created a boot menu for Windows 7 with 2 options: Normal start and Auto start. When a user selects Normal then Windows starts normally and goes to Ctrl+Alt+Del… And when a user selects Auto then I want the pc to logon automatically en goes to IE-kiosk mode. I cannot get Autologon working without a reboot. Via a GPO with vbs-start-script which checks the users choice and configure the registry etc for Autologon. I got Autologon works well however only if I force the pc to reboot after choosing the Autologon menu option. My question is: can I force the pc to Autologon directly after the user chooses for Auto (Autologon)?
TIA for any advice/ alternatives!
I think you need to provide more details on how your boot menu entries are different from each other. – TheUser1024 – 2014-05-26T17:41:46.253
The boot menu entries are no different. Only the display name is different. Both menu -items uses the same drive and OS> I create the menu entries using bcedit. The choice of the user is checked during startup by a GPO script to triggers Autologon if the user wants to autologon toward IE-Kiosk mode. – user326786 – 2014-05-26T18:56:37.717
You can't do it like that because when you set the registry via computer-level GPO it won't take effect until the next reboot. The first time it's applied, it's just applied not executed, because by the time it applies the changes to those settings, the existing settings have already been read and used. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-05-26T20:02:11.027
OK. Thanks. Is ther any other way to achieve that goal? – user326786 – 2014-05-27T04:55:55.533
