Hi,

Is there anyway to set the default Domain that is selected in the 'Log on to:' window when logging onto Windows 2000. At the moment it defaults to the local machine but we need it to default to the company domain server.


Thanks

Marc

It should default the last domain used for a succesfull login. Do you have a policy in place that doesn't remember the last username used?

not as far as i know mate. these are users login into a windows 2000 server on citrix via terminal services.

Marc,

You can set the default login domain in the registry. It's machine specific (i.e. a Local Machine key), so you can't set one domain for a group of users and another for another group (if you follow my drift).

Not sure if you could use a user poilcy to work around this. If you just want everyone to default to the same domain, then you should just need to set the registry key.

Ok, i've found a registry entry that looks like the daddy:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Win dows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

The entry is DefaultDomainLogin and it is currently set to the local machine. Am i safe to change this to the domain server that i want?

Sorry - don't normally like messing with registries
