I work in a simulation center and am attempting to set up a server that will store all data that 25 computers need in order to load the software.

I need to know how to configure a Windows 2003 server to allow any connected computers to automatically logon to the server without having to enter username and password.

Thanks for any help on with this.

Auto login with Windows is done on the client machine: The server authenticates logins it doesn't log machines into the network.

If the applications are on a server then you could map drives with a login script to the folder containing the application/s and share the applications folder.Map the startup programs to the mapped drives for each application. It all depends on if the apps are loaded on the client machine or on a share on the network.
