I created a .bat file out of these instructions to make using this at a later time easy. Copy/paste this into a textfile and rename that file to xxxx.bat (where xxxx can be anything you like, as long as windows likes it too, eg, no : / etc...)

This script is tested on a win 2008 R2 server.

echo In the following dialog, check and uncheck the
echo "users must enter their username and passwords to login", and hit apply.

echo.
set /p q=Press {enter} to continue.

you also need to add DefaultUserName
and set AdminAutoLogon to 1
then when you run "control userpasswords2" you'll be able to set the logon username/password (event if you're in a domain).
