I'd like to have a Scheduled Task (or a script of some sort) perform an automated interactive logon at a given time on Windows Server 2003.
The reason is in this question I've asked a short while ago: I need to automate an application but have not found a way to do so without a full graphical login, as if the user was actually connected to the desktop.
I'm not looking for RunAs: what I need is to force the Server to login a particular user, as if that user was on the console or in a Remote Desktop session in Terminal Services.
Thanks for any input.

It sounds like you are looking for something like LogonExpert. I've never used the software, but they claim to have the ability to scheduled automatic logon and logoff events. From the website:
