Hi there,
I am using Windows Server 2016 as OS on my DIY Audiophile Music Server. This Music Server is build into a Fan-less chassis with passive cooling and there is no Keyboard or Monitor connected to the Server.

The issue that I am having, is when I switch on the server on the power button, Windows Server 2016 will boot up to the password log-in screen and doesn't log-in automatically(without password), so that Jriver (my music player/library can auto start) to be controlled remotely from my iPad.

Is there any way to deactivate the password log-in on Windows Server 2016?

Kind regards Ilona
