mass login does not work

[nicovon]

@JanRys OK, I'll also try inserting just one character to see if it works the same.
Meanwhile I have another problem. On the PCs to be controlled and also on the master there are two accounts: student and admin.
I need to massively log in as admin but currently all the stations to control are using the student account. Is there a way to successfully log in with the admin account even if it is not the last account used?

[JanRys]

@nicovon Needed to do this too, but without success.

@nicovon said in mass login does not work:

log in with the admin account even if it is not the last account used

@JanRys are you referring to this?
It doesn't work to me either. Do you think I have to open a issue on Github?

[JanRys]

@nicovon Yes, logging another account doesnt work for me too, didnt find a way around. I am waiting on new version of Veyon with hope that its all fixed.

@nicovon
To correctly use Veyon log-in feature, you have to hide last signed in users via "Local Security Policy" or editing the Registry:

Once you have done it, remember that to login you have to enter both username and password.

Have a nice day.

Sorry, this works for Windows PCs, but I don't understand what OS are you using on students PCs. Linux?

[nicovon]

@Carlo Thanks Carlo, yes I am on windows

[Carlo]

@nicovon You are welcome!
So hiding last signed in users via "Local Security Policy" or regedit should works.
Have a nice Day.

@Carlo yes, it works very well and I thank you but.. when the students log in they will also have to enter their username and since these students are all not very skilled in using the PC, I would prefer to avoid...

[Carlo]

@nicovon
Yes you are right, I understand you!
To avoid this I use only a username for all students for all classes implementing the "auto login" feature.
So that when I turn on or restart the PCs the user "student" will automatically login.
With many usernames, the only solution I found is to login the students from Veyon itself before every lesson starts.

Have a nice day!

@Carlo That solution isn't good in my case, because I'm not always present in the laboratory and I can't always log the students.
