Flushing Cache Credentials

[Kevin Thorwesten]

How would I flush cached credentials in a Windows XP, NT
4.0 domain environment?

Things I have tried: removing the users local profile.
And I've seen a couple of posts that the credentials are
stored in HKLM/Security, however I have nothing there. I
have also seen that they are in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Eapol\UserEapInfo
however I do not have the Eapol entry.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi

Create/edit this in registry, reboot and see if it works:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon\

ValueName: CachedLogonsCount
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value: 0


If you want to enable logon with cached credentials again, change it to a
number between 1 and 50 (10 is the default value). The number represents how
many users the computer will remember cached credentials for.
