Hi,

MSDN, "Introduction to MinLogon"
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnxpesp1/html/xpe_minlogon.asp)
says:
"It is important to understand that MinLogon will never prompt a user
for login credentials such as a user name or password. In addition,
MinLogon does not include support for an Administrator account and has
no concept of user accounts or privileges to the local machine's file
system or resources."

If so, when I use minlogon in my image, how can I prevent other people
from using the computer that runs my image when he sit down before my
computer?

Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance!

Minlogon is specifically for situations where you don't need local security
or want to control it with your own shell so in your situation it sounds
like
you need winlogon.

Thanks Mike.
My new idea:
Develope an application which request user name and password, if right,
load cmd.exe. Can I use that application as the custom shell to enture
the minlogon's local security?

passes, load cmd.exe as the workbench. Can I use that application as
the minlogon's custom shell to ensure the minlogon's security?

Sorry, I replied use google groups. I can't see my replies, so I replied and
replied :)
That should be the google groups' bug.

Anyway - write your own shell and implement there sufficient security.

That's probably only one way to have some security with MinLogon.
