Is there any way to configure a computer to login automatically at bootup and then IMMEDIATELY switch users? The purpose is to trigger the profile loading process for the assumed user so that when they go to login, their profile loads instantaneously. Yet, the immediate user switch means that the login password is still required before any actual use.
A few of the attempts I have made require storing the password in plain-text for the system to use. Needless to say that is undesireable.
I have been looking for this solution for years; if anyone knows of a better solution to skinning this cat I am all ears.
EDIT:
tsdiscon
command will Lock the workstation.
