Dialup BEFORE Logon
Hi all, XP Pro systems, (SP3+ latest), trying to get them to establish their dialup connections before a user logs on. This is basically so that if a system gets restarted remotely, it'll power up and re-connect via dialup so I can remote back in. Don't ask why it's dialup, I wish it were't I've set up a dialup connection icon in Windows that autodials and connects without prompts once run, so if I stick it in the Startup group it'll effectively connect to the Internet without interaction. However this needs to be done before logon, so I tried the Scheduled Tasks thing and specified it run When My Computer Starts but that doesn't happen, no sound from the modem or anything. Unfortunately, I don't have the option of having Windows auto-login with a default username/pw or this would be my workaround using the dialup icon in the Startup group. Any suggestions? I had tried putting the path to the Dialup icon in the Run keys (HKLM) but nothing happened - I'm not very well versed on manipulating loadpoints in XP. Thanks anybody. |
