Error when setting Display information about previous logon on Wins 7
We recently try to deploy a GPO on our network to show previous logons during user logon. The setting is located in Computer Configuration| Policies | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Logon Options | Display information about previous logons during user logon = Enabled. Our domain level is set to Windows Server 2008. I verified that it is Windows Server 2008 on Domain and Trust.
Here is the article about this setting
Active Directory Domain Services: Last Interactive Logon
But after we deploy the setting, we are no longer able to login to any of our windows 7 machines. All of them got an error message said : “Security policies on this computer are set to display information about the last interactive logon. Windows could not retrieve this information. Please contact your network administrator for assistance.”
The setting worked on windows server 2008. I was able to login to DC and revise the setting, so we can log back in the windows 7 machines.
Anyone has experience this issue before? I looked up all of the web and only thing they said is to make sure the domain functional level must be set to Windows Server 2008, which it is.
