KB142595 - Using a Generic Logon with SBS Shared Installation

SUMMARY

When you start Windows 95 from a Server-Based-Setup (SBS) shared installation on a Microsoft Windows NT server, two separate logons are required: a real-mode network logon and a protected-mode network logon in Windows 95. There are 2 methods you can use to automate these logons:

To bypass the protected-mode logon, log on in real-mode with your domain user name and domain password.
To bypass the real-mode logon, add the following line to the Autoexec.bat file in the root directory of drive C
```
      net logon <generic_username> <password> /domain:<domain name> /y
						
```
where <generic_username> is a generic account that you have created with <password> as its password. This causes a generic logon in real mode. You can then log on with your normal user account when you are prompted in protected mode (in Windows 95).
