friendly logon

[timm.wong]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the friendly login screen to come up by setting in
the registry

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"LogonType"=dword:00000001

But it doesn't seem to work, I still get the Classic Mode screen. From
looking through forums, this is the only reg value mentioned to change
the login screen. Am I missing something?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Tim

Hi Tim,

In Target Designer, try going to the "Windows Logon (Standard)" component
and select "Settings". Here, you can set an option before you build the
runtime that will allow you to turn the Friendly Logon on or off. Keep in
mind, however, that this setting does not have any effect if your system is
joined to a domain (as opposed to a workgroup) - if it is on a domain, the
standard network logon prompt will always appear.

If your machine is on a workgroup and toggling this setting in Target
Designer (before building your runtime) does not help, please write back and
we'll investigate further. Thanks. =)

The Friendly Logon sets the [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon],"LogonType"=dword:00000001 registry value
only when checked.
(even DisableCAD reg.value would only be set for the Standard Logon)

Are you saying it does something more?

My understanding is that the "Friendly Logon" setting does not have any
effect either way if the machine is joined to a domain - in a domain
environment, there is no concept of a Friendly Logon UI. I don't know for
certain if the Friendly Logon setting sets more than that one registry value
or not.

It does set only that reg.value. You can verify that through the Winlogon component script.

I agree that domain participation makes it different since the system cannot list domain accounts on friendly logon script.
That should be reflected on the Winlogon Settings page. But it does not and hence may be considered as bug

Thanks for the responses guys. Unfortunately I'm still having no luck
with it. My machine is on a workgroup and I am logging in as an
administrator. The setting is toggled in Target Designer before
building the runtime.

I forgot to ask the obvious question.

Do you have "Friendly Logon User Interface" component in your configuration?

Also, just in case, verify that the [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon],"UIHost" value is set to
"logonui.exe"

Timm: I worked through this with another user (unless you happen to be the
same person with a different address) and discovered that if you have the
"Client Services for Netware" component in your runtime, this will override
the Friendly Logon UI. If you have this component in your runtime and you
don't specifically need it, I recommend you disable or remove it before
building your runtime.

The Client Services for Netware component can be brought in by "Help and
Support Services", "Networking Application Compatibility", and/or "Active
Directory Service Interface (ADSI) Netware 3.X Provider" and "ADSI Novell
Directory Service Provider".
