Do Not Display Last User Name In Logon Screen

[J Ferguson]

I am trying to develop a registry edit that will prevent
the displaying of the last user logon for a Windows 2K
network.

The regedit provided in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article 237890 has been applied.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=237890
However the settings do not take place without enabling
the policy setting noted in Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article 310125. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310125

After comparing the registry files before and after each
step, I am unable to find any changes made by solution
310125.

Is there a method for applying this through a conventional
registry update? This would be most helpful in the 200
plus unit environment that exists.


Thank you

J Ferguson

This should do it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\syste
m]
"dontdisplaylastusername"=dword:00000001

Cheers
