Andy's way seems best, but you might try this registry hack: under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon, add these new String Values: Name - AutoLogon Data - "1" Name - DefaultUserName Data - "zope" Name - DefaultPassword Data - "yourpasswordhere" Name - DefaultDomainName Data - "yourdomainhere" I have this working with "AutoAdminLogon" instead of "AutoLogon", and "DefaultUserName" set to "Administrator", but I like to live dangerously. ;) AutoLogon should work the same way, theoretically, but I haven't tested it.

I run my Zope as "Local System account" and havent had a problem with reboots. I connect to ODBC databases on other boxes... Dunno about NFS Maestro.

...

When my NT box restarts after a power failure (we have lots of these in California these days), my Zope loses its ability to talk to some of the other hosts on the LAN.

I have Zope running as a service on NT 4. The Zope service runs as user "zope". My Zope talks to other hosts on the LAN via:

1. NT filesystem (thru LocalFS product). No problem here. The links to the other fileservers are specified in UNC format (e.g. \\phoneserver\phonelist.txt). And the user "zope" has the requisite permissions on all the filesystem drives used.

2. ODBC connections to databases on other hosts. The ODBC driver forces you to specify connections in terms of drive mappings (e.g. f:\phonelist.mdb). But after startup, when no one is logged in, there is no active user profile containing drive mappings. Therefore, the ODBC connections are broken.

3. NFS Maestro mounts. The Maestro driver also forces you to specify connections in terms of drive mappings -- with the same problems as #2.

Does anyone know how to configure NT, Zope, or the Zope service so that connection types #2 and #3 don't break when no one is logged in.
