Auto booting
Auto Booting (Enable Automatic Booting) is used by administrators for re-imaging process, patching
cycles, and product deployments. Many software installation packages require one or more restarts of
the target computer, and autobooting automatically authenticates without user or administrator
intervention. The administrator can define a window of time-line during which autobooting remains
active.
The autoboot feature terminates when the defined time-line window has elapsed.
Figure 3-6 Configure auto booting
Since this policy setting temporarily bypasses the normal logon process for EEPC installed systems,
computers receiving this policy will be vulnerable while Autobooting remains active. To minimize the
risk, make sure that you carefully review the inclusive dates and times that Autobooting remains active
before deploying this policy.
