Disable Options button on Log On to Windows screen

[Pete-L]

Hi

Newly setting up a 2003 domain with xp pro workstations.

Is there a way to disable the options button on the logon
screen to prevent users from being able to select a
different domain or the local machine, and force them to
use username@domain as their user name?

I tried the ShowLogonOptions but this seems to still leave
the options button enabled.

Or failing that can I remove both the Log on to: text box
and Log on using dial-up connection option?

TIA.

Try

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Reg DWORD
NoDomainUI

Value = 1

in combination with ShowLogonOptions.

This may be available only on Windows 2000 specific.

Thanks, over a day I spent trying to find something to do
that.

Where/how did you find that entry, is there a book,
website?

Many thanks again.

Pete.
