Hello,

I'm looking for a way to ensure that when my users sit down at a computer to log in to the domain, the "log on to" box is always set to the domain, not the local machine. In other words, if I log in locally as a local admin, when I logout, the "log on to" box reverts back to the domain name, not the local computer name. Is this possible via a registry hack or some other way?

Thanks,
Dave
