Force only domain logon?

[agunslinger]

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"=""
