Set Last Logged In User

Summary

This is an Automate implementation of the agnostic script Set-LastLoggedOnUser to manage the last logged-in user's information displayed on the Windows login screen.

Notes:

• The user must have logged on to the computer at least once to be set on the login screen by this script.
