I've just reinstalled the WHS software - a full reinstall, rather than just the software.

Whenever the server reboots it goes to the ctrl alt delete screen and I have to enter the password.

Thats fine when i have a keyboard and screen attached but will be a problem when they are removed.

How do get around this. It was all ok before the reinstall

thanks

Why do you have to enter a password? Once the server boots you don't really need to be logged in at all - no need for keyboard or monitor.

Just leave it as it is...

As above it is supposed to be headless ie. no monitor/keyboard/mouse connected. Everything you do it done via the homeserver console or if you need to get to the desktop for more advanced things use remote desktop. If you mean via remote desktop you would have had the details saved before which you can just add into the rdp options.
