I want that when ever the computer at client side (which is Member of Domain) connect to my server is remove the user name automatically.By default when we shut down or restart the system we can see the user name as written be default so i need that the user should write his user name him self.
Please guide me that in server side shat should i do ?

Thanks in advance.


My server is windows 2003
client side windows xp and win 2000 pro.

Open the Registry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] and create a new string value, or modify the existing value, called "DontDisplayLastUserName" and set it to "1" to enable.

Life's more painless for the brainless.
