### Remote Log On

Teachers will be able to log in a user on selected computers through the Teacher console. For this feature to work, the computers must be configured to hide the user account from the Windows logon screen and display the *User Name* and *Password* fields during logon. 

To hide the last logged user name on a Windows welcome screen, go to *Local Security Policy > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Interactive Logon: Don't Display Last Signed In (Username at Sign-in)* > select *Enabled*. Note that this policy is disabled by default.

If CTRL+ALT+DEL is required before a user can log on to Windows, there are 2 ways to configure it: 

* Go to *Local Security Policy > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Interactive Logon: Do Not Require CTRL+ALT+DELETE* > select *Enabled*. 
* Go to *Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Logon Options > Disable/Enable Software Secure Attention Sequence (or SAS).* Select *Enabled*, then select *Services and Ease of Access Applications.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.faronics.com/faronics-insight-docs/using-faronics-insight/the-insight-teacher-console/actions-1/computer-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
