Just added server 2003 in a VM. &nbsp;When its just server 2003 with no roles defined the auto logon works. &nbsp;Make it a DC and it throws that error. &nbsp;WTH?

I have a need to schedule a reboot on Server 2003 and after it boots logon as administrator automatically &nbsp;Following the note here: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231</a>&nbsp;I actually have it doing everything it’s supposed to but it rejects the logon credentials.<br />
<br />
I get that: &nbsp;The system could not log you on. &nbsp;Make sure your username and domain are correct blah..blah<br />
<br />
It is indeed correct. After I get that error I can just type in the password and it logs right in. &nbsp;I know the username and password are correct and everything seems to be doing what I want, I just don’t understand why it rejects the creds.<br />

Server 2003 rejects password only when using auto logon

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).
