AutoLogon:AutoLogon enables you to easily configure Windows' built-in autologon mechanism. Instead of waiting for a user to enter their name and password, Windows uses the credentials you enter with Autologon. The logon information is NOT stored securely on the computer therefore it is recommended that account as well as computer are restrcitied and use account impersonation where possible.
To allow the scripts to interact with the desktop, a user name and password must be configured. This is also used for Windows AutoLogon to ensure script execution after reboot. The logon information is not stored secure on the computer.
