workstation defaults to domain login

[Lee]

We have a machine that was part of a test domain. The domain no longer
exists. I deployed the machine forgetting about it's domain membership.

I tried to disjoin it from the domain and it seemed to be OK. I also
renamed the machine for our new user who received it. After a reboot, it
still tries to login to the domain. You can pick out the machine name
in the dropdown where you choose where to login to and it will work fine.

So, my question is: is there a registry hack or something that I can use
to remove the old domain from the list of places to login? I don't want
to have to select where to login everytime.

Check the permissions on this file %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Netlogon.ftl
make sure system and administrators have full control.

and

To resolve this issue, use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to delete the
DCache and DCacheUpdate values in the following registry key and then
restart your computer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Worked like a charm!
