LogonCount specifies the number of times that you can log on to the computer by using AutoLogon. This value decrements each time you log on to the computer. You must restart the computer to reset the value of LogonCount. LogonCount must be specified if AutoLogon is used.

After the specified number of automated logon actions has occurred, you must manually log onto the computer.

If the built-in administrator account is used, the account is still active. For more information about the built-in administrator account, see the How to Enable and Disable the Built-in Administrator Account topic in the Windows® Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) Technical Reference.
