asked on Auto login not working with Win XP Pro SP3
I have a number of robots which are actually computers running xp sp3 which are connected to a windows 2003 server domain.,
I would like these computers to auto-log in when the power is first applied, using a domain account, instead of stopping at the log in screen.
I've gone to the users section of the control panel and the message You can not change this users password appears. I suspect that's because the user is a domain account.
Can anyone help?

use the sysinternals autologin to perform the login
Can also be done manually using Windows registry editor.
You just need to modify the DefaultUserName, DefaultPasswordType, and AutoAdminLogon values.
Step by step instructions on how to do that can be found here:

The registry method gives me a message that the roaming profile could not be found.. sounds like I need to hole sysinternals

The user you are trying to login has issue with its permissions on the server where the users folder files are.
