Thank, that's what I need. &nbsp;Do you have any links that could maybe tell me a bit more about what each one of the Value Type and Parameters are and how they effect the workstation. &nbsp;I'll wait for your reply, and if it is sufficient I'll reward you all the points (barring no one else chimes in)

juliancrawford,

Thank, that's what I need.  Do you have any links that could maybe tell me a bit more about what each one of the Value Type and Parameters are and how they effect the workstation.  I'll wait for your reply, and if it is sufficient I'll reward you all the points (barring no one else chimes in)

Off the top of anyones head, is there any blatant registry changes that need to be made at the local workstation in the registry. &nbsp;I have already changed the Hash value for Local login to only keep up with 1 instead of 10. &nbsp;I am really looking for the biggies here. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
There is probably going to be numerous suggestions, so points will be split according to severity.<br />
<br />
Thanks
