When automating some virtual machines with vmrun I am encountering the issue with not being able to bypass the Guest OS ctrl+alt+del login screen. For example
vmrun.exe -gu user -gp pass -T server -h my.server.local:443/sdk -u admin -p pass runProgramInGuest "[datastore] path-to-VMX" iexplore
will not proceed. Without me manually going in and logging in the guest. Is there a way to programatically do the same thing? After reading the documentation all I can glean in the -gu and -gp flags which are supposed to do just this thing. If possible I would like to bypass the entire thing and just have the VM login when it powers up.
It is important to note that I know you can change the settings on the Guest OS to allow this by default. However this needs to be done by vmrun WITHOUT editing the Guest OS Registry.
