Hey guys,
Last night I setup my friend's business Dell Optiplex out of box. The machine is to be used as a filemaker server system only. I know for a fact that when logged in as the administrator, I went into the power management options, and disabled everything except for the monitor turning off after 20 minutes. I didn't go to enable hibernation mode, so I believe that is also off by default.
This morning I received a call that it was not accessible. The user I was working with cannot ping the machine, nor can he RDP to it. The unfortunate part is that there's a very good possibility that no one will have physical access to this machine until at least 1pm.
I disabled the regular user account, so now when the machine is turned on it will take a user to the Windows Welcome screen, showing the Administrator account... however the machine will not be logged in, it will sit at the welcome screen. Does the computer automatically enter a standby mode if a user does not login to a system? If that is the case, is there a way to disable that without having to setup an automatic login account? Or should I just have Administrator automatically login when the computer is turned on?
Thanks!
