    After running the updates using Steady State is seems to set AutoAdminLogon back to 0 in the registry and my autologon user quits working.  Any ideas?

    It seems to be a bug.  BSOD2600 is right, we can use the script to change the autoadminlogon key value to 0 and deploy the script through group policy.

    the script content can:  reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /d 1 /f

     

    For one single pc situation, you can use the autologon tool to do the task. The tool can be downloaded at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Security/Autologon.mspx

    So on my 1500 computer that will check for updates each night, I should go around and manually change the registry back on each computer so the auto logon starts working again until the next night.  HA.  Nice fix but no thanks.

    Meh, shouldn't be too hard to script the registry changes with a gpo/login script/etc. 

    Guess you can wait for an official answer by MS...

    Any progress on this one.  I tested on the beta of Steady State and after my updates run, the autologon reg keys are cleared out.
