Summary

This is a potential process for managing Windows 10 computers with autologin configured (Microsoft calls it Autologon, but I don't care). This scenario could be considered a security risk in a business environment if proper care is not taken.

Before we begin, there are a few prerequisites:

  • All computers involved should be members of Active Directory (AD)
  • Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for AD should be installed on a management host
  • You need to be able to import the AD PowerShell module (comes with the RSAT AD feature)
  • You need an account with administrator privileges for all target computers

You should only do this if there is a need for such accounts. Additionally, AD joined devices with autologin configured should be in secure areas where random people can't just walk in and start using the computer.
