Hiding LAN Manager 2.1 RPL Workstation Logon Prompt (87705)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1
This article was previously published under Q87705 SUMMARY
When you perform a remote boot on a Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1
workstation, a logon prompt is presented on the computer screen. This
logon prompt is a security measure that requires you to know the
password assigned to the computer in order for you to perform a remote
boot on it.
However, you may decide that this added level of security is not
required. If this is the case, you can eliminate the need for a
password when the logon prompt is initiated. To do this, leave the
password field blank in the workstation properties section of RPLMGR.
When this is done, the logon prompt is displayed, and you can either
press the ENTER key at the password prompt or wait 5 seconds for the
logon procedure to continue without a password. For LAN Manager 2.1,
you can also completely hide the logon prompt. This is useful in
situations where you logged in with a username and the double logon
prompts become confusing. See below for more information on how to do
this.
