Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments

password string		Password to be used for automatic login. Must be set when `state=present`. Value of this input will be used as password for username. While this value is encrypted by LSA it is decryptable to any user who is an Administrator on the remote host.
state string	Choices: absent present ←	Whether the registry key should be `present` or `absent`.
username string		Username to login automatically. Must be set when `state=present`. This can be the Netlogon or UPN of a domain account and is automatically parsed to the `DefaultUserName` and `DefaultDomainName` registry properties.
