Login box on Win7/Server 2003 client

[Andie]

Can't find answer to this on here yet, but maybe someone can point me to a thread I've missed. Anyway:

 

New to Win 7 clients on our Server 2003 network. Is there a way to get the login box to come up straight after pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del? At the moment, after pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del, I am getting a blank picture icon labelled Other User, and have to click on that to get the login box. These clients are for our new Foundation pupils, and I could do with making it as easy as poss.

Yes!

 

Default Domain Policy > Computer Config > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options:

 

Interactive logon: Do not display last user name - Enabled

Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL - Enabled

OK, thanks, but... we have the do not display last user name enabled, and I thought turning off Ctrl+Alt+Del was a bad thing to do..??

I've had no probs disabling Ctrl+alt+del. I've double checked my GPOs and Do not display last user name is the one you need.

 

Try running gpupdate /force

OK, I'll give it a try, thanks.

 

But still worried as Ctrl-Alt-Del is a security thing. If anyone knows another way of doing this....
