I changed a computer from work from a domain to a workgroup. Instead of going and changing the user accounts etc my machine restarted. Now I have the Log On To Windows screen with the Username and Password up and it won’t accept the Admin account. Neither does it have the drop down list where I can ask to login to local machine. How can I bypass this welcome screen and get into windows.

Logon automation

I have several programs that where written in vb6 that are now required to be automated through a scheduler. It has been a while since I coded in vb6 and need to know a way to get access to the current logged on users credentials to pass on to a database loggon. the Oracle database is NOT set up to use windows authentication so I must use user name and password in a connection object within ADO. I know I can get the user through the scripting host object but how can I get the password to pass on? A code example would be most helpful. We do have active directory also.

how to auto sign on using active directory lookup

We’d like a software package (call it auto sign-on ASO) to
> support the following:
> 1. a user starts a secure application.
> 2. the login prompt appears.
> 3. user passes his/her HID prox card in front of a reader
> 4. ASO authenticates user. Not sure what to do here – maybe write our own code to interpret the 26-bit Weigand input from the prox card?
At any rate, once the user is authenticated, we’d use that info to “lookup” in Acitive Directory and see what he/she has permission for.
> 5. If user ok for that secure app, enters valid user name & password
if not…dispaly error message

Any thoughts? I was hoping this would be a shareware app or at least an easily written app that could be distributed to clients and perform as indicated above when ever a user swipes a card
