Thanks for the response. &nbsp;I made the change you recommended and now, when I log out as poweruserX, and relog in as Administrator, and then restart the system, it will change the altdefault user to adminstrator. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks for the input. &nbsp;I'll keep researching...

We use Win2k3, as an application server. &nbsp;It communicates with only 1 other server (usually). &nbsp;It's running SQL Server 2000 (dont think SQL's part of the problem), and our application. &nbsp;We also set it up to automatically login with a user that's part of the Power Users group (I'll call him poweruserX), by setting the registry. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Occasionally (not really repeatable), when the server reboots (scheduled reboot), it will change the &quot;Default Autologin&quot; from &quot;poweruserX&quot; to &quot;Administrator&quot;. &nbsp;So when it does this, is still has &quot;poweruserX's&quot; password (not the Administrator's), so it can't login.<br />
<br />
I need to know why it's doing this, and how to stop it.<br />
<br />
Thanks!!!

Windows Server 2003, Auto login changes automatically.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
