I've found this AutoLogin admin template online and I was attempting to test
it out however it doesn't seem to import into my testing OU. It physically
goes through all the motions of successfully adding the .adm file, however
when you browse to that folder in the GPO Editor there is no new entry for
auto login. Any ideas?

*Code*
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY "System"
CATEGORY "Logon"
POLICY "AutoLogon"
EXPLAIN "These settings can be used to allow the system to logon
automatically. To enable autologon, set the first two settings
(AutoAdminLogon and ForceAutologon) to 1, and then fill in the appropriate
account information. Keep in mind that this information will be stored in
cleartext in the systems registry."
KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"

Issue resolved... This policy is defined as "Old-Style Preferences." Outlined
in Sybex's Group Policy, Profiles, and IntelliMirror, because this is an Old
Style policy the Group Policy Editor filters it out of view. To veiw this
Administrative Template goto view > filtering, then uncheck the "Only show
policy settings that can be fully managed" option.

Return to the Group Policy Editor and goto the Computer Configuration >
Administrative Templates > System > Login section and you will then be able
to manipulate the AutoLogin Administrative Template.

w00t!
