    Force only domain logon?


    My users are kind of getting used to the new login screen. I have set the Default Domain Name in the regisytry and/or GPO. However, that default domain name seems to only work on the FIRST ATTEMPT. Should a user make a typo and login fails, the machine reverts over to Login to: localmachine name, which of course the user doesnt notice and login to network fails again resulting in calls.

    Yes, I realize peopel need to be educated. But some can tbe educated Regardless of you opinions on end user understanding of the new process, is there a away to force it to always assume domain login?

    According to LockerGnome... but it seems to me that you would want to set the default domain name instead of the "="

    You have to put a GPO ( logoff ) that exec this .reg


    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
    "ShowLogonOptions"=dword:00000000
    "DefaultUserName"=""
    "AltDefaultUserName"=""
    "AltDefaultDomainName"=""
    "CachePrimaryDomain"=""
    "DefaultDomainName"=""
