Cached login

[Julian]

How do I setup a notebook so that when the user goes home, he can log in
using his domain credentials and the notebook logs him in. At the moment,
the notebook is saying there is no domain controller.

change the startup script to validate against a network first then locally
should the network not be available.

Hi,

Cached logon is controlled by the following registry value:

ValueName: CachedLogonsCount
Data Type: REG_SZ
Values: 0 - 50

under the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon\

If the value does not exist, the system defaults to the value 10.

Setting it to 0 will stop it from saving the cached credentials.

Note that the CachedLogonsCount is a number indicating for how many
users the computer should remember cached credentials for, and not
how many times a user can log on with cached credentials in a row.
