Therefore make sure time synchronization is configured and working properly if you encounter sporadic connectivity problems when using Veyon.

hi, I'm using veyon and it make easyer life in my lab I've still a problem. I have got 27 pc and all works: for example shut down or share a link or file. But I can't log in the 27 pc. It can be very usefull for me because I teach to young children... so they sometimes cannot digit the password :D It says password is not correct...

SlrG commented on Jan 24, 2021

If you correctly setup authentication you should be able to remotecontrol a single system and log it in from the teacher system. You could even log in all systems simultaneously if the password is the same on all systems. Please read the manual on how to setup it all.

alexia74 commented on Jan 24, 2021

Hi, I can do anything... remote control, send link and file, do presentations and so on. I tested before to use it. But I have a problem with login to the pc.

alexia74 commented on Jan 24, 2021

no problem :) language: italian the password is composed by a name (caps lock on the first letter) and 4 numbers there are not special characters. I tried to write it on a text and it was correct. it can be the caps lock... of the first letter, but it is a simple password... I can try to change the password on a pc... to test what happens.

alexia74 commented on Jan 24, 2021

I think it is the only thing that doesn't work :D but it would be great if it works... as they are 27 pc and I work with very young children (6 years old), that cannot digit the password :)

Are you trying to use the "Login user" feature? If so, please make sure the Windows login settings are configured correctly, see https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/platform-notes.html#user-login for details.

Not using Configurator, this settings change would be done through Windows group policy at the student computers.
