Warning Never configure a DME to log in automatically. Doing so

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

prevents true security in your network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If — despite our recommendation — you configure a DME to log into

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Windows automatically, password management becomes far more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

complex. Thus, any time that you neglect to change an auto-logon

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

password specifically, you will prevent your DME from working as

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

designed. See Other Required Password Maintenance (Only When

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Autologon Is Configured), page 2-13.

Login is possible only through a system from which your DME is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reachable. Its connection to your DME might be either direct

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or networked.

Warning Be very careful as you complete this workflow. Any mistakes that you make might prevent your DME from booting correctly or functioning correctly.

Before You Begin

This workflow uses the instance of Microsoft Windows that runs on your DME. Even though a remote management connection might be sufficient, we recommend instead that you connect a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor to your DME directly and use them to control Windows.

From Step 1, this workflow assumes that your DME is either new or in a factory-restored condition. If this is not true, or if you are not sure, we recommend very strongly that you perform a factory restore operation now.
