Remeber last user logon name 2

[beefstew]

Hi,

When i log on to my server or the clients, the last user to log off is not remembered when logging on again, the field is blank.I think this might have something to do with Security Templates, but i am not too sure.
Can somebody please tell me how to restore the original configuration to allow users names to be remembered when logging on.

thanks

dude, This would be a good thing, I have been tring to get my boss to do that. This is one of the big security problems, MS covers this in the C2 security config. You might find on how to do this on the computer(Documents), and then back track on the instructons to correct? I hope this helps.

By default, Windows 2000/XP displays the user name of the last user who logged on successfully (as stored in the value of DefaultUserName) in the Log On to Windows dialog box. If the value of this entry is 1, the User name box in the Log On to Windows dialog box is blank.

Value Meaning
0
The name of the last user who logged on successfully is displayed in the Log On to Windows dialog box. This setting is designed to make logging on faster and easier.

1
The User name field in the Log On to Windows dialog box is blank. This setting is designed to enhance the security of the system by not displaying a valid user name.


Note
This entry can be overriden by a Group Policy setting in Windows NT/2000/XP. When the Do not display last user name in logon screen policy (Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options) is defined, this entry is ignored.

Tip

For detailed information about particular Group Policies, see the Group Policy Reference (Gp.chm) on the Windows NT/2000/XP Resource Kit CD.
