Run As Options

Used to set the username, password and domain for the default user.  The default user is used to logon or unlock a workstation when a task is set to do so via its Run As properties.  Using a default user makes your tasks more portable because each AutoMate system can set its "default AutoMate user" to an account appropriate for their configuration.

Username
The default username.  This can be either a plain username (e.g. "sparky"), or a username/domain combination (e.g. "sparky@unisyn.com")  When the later form is used, the domain field is disabled

Password
The password to be used with the default username specified above.  This option can be blank if no password is associated with the selected user.

Domain/Machine Name
The domain or machinename the user is a member of.  This option can be left blank if the user is not a member of a domain or there is only one workgroup for the machine.

The last three options tell AutoMate how to select the proper fields of a logon screen before attempting to enter the username, password and/or domain during a logon or unlock attempt.  Each field consists of one letter corresponding to the accelerator key of the appropriate field (the accelerator key is the letter which is underlined next to field on the logon box).  Each field can be left blank, in which case AutoMate will not attempt to fill out that particular field.  For example, on workstations where a domain name never has to be entered, you may omit the domain accelerator key to prevent AutoMate from attempting to enter the domain name.
