Thanks for your response. &nbsp;I am not sure I can get a screenshot, but if you are familiar with Vista/Windows XP, when the computer starts up, there is a login screen with the usernames of all the users. &nbsp;I want to hide certain usernames or possibly certain groups from this screen in Windows Server 2008. &nbsp;Since there are so many FTP users, this screen gets cluttered.

I want to hide certain logins from the login screen in Windows Server 2008. &nbsp;These logins are for FTP purposes only and will never login to the machine via RDP, but there are so many that it clutters the login screen. &nbsp;How can I hide certain usernames or possibly set the group of the user so that they still have FTP access but are not options to login? &nbsp;Thanks in advance for your help.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
