Windows 2K3 Term Serv Default logon to domain and not local computer

You can define that in your thin client (where depends on the brand), or in your RDP definition when using a Windows PC (click options in the Remote Desktop connection dialog)

J.

We are using /TSWEB, so I need to set the preference on the server side.

In Windows XP, you can hide the domain box AND require a UPN (User Principal Name) to log on to your domain, by setting the NoDomainUI Value Name, a REG_DWORD data type, to 1 at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon on each Windows XP domain member.  This may also be the answer for terminal services logons.

NOTE: If only the SAM account is entered, Windows XP will attempt a local logon.

NOTE: You can implement this change via group policy by defining a Shutdown script that contains:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /V NoDomainUI /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F

I have scripted NoDomainUI.bat to set the NoDomainUI Value Name to 1 on all your Windows XP domain members.

The syntax for using NoDomainUI.bat is:

NoDomainUI [Exclude1 Exclude2 ExcludeN]

Where ExcludeX is an optional list of \\ComputerNames to bypass.

NoDomainUI.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
set qry=reg.exe query
set add=reg.exe add
set fnd=FINDSTR /L /I /B /V /G:"%TEMP%\NoDomainUI.TMP"
if exist "%TEMP%\NoDomainUI.TMP" del /q "%TEMP%\NoDomainUI.TMP"
:loop
if {%1}=={} goto loopend
@echo %1>>"%TEMP%\NoDomainUI.TMP"
shift
goto loop
:loopend
@echo END_OF_NoDomainUI_EXCLUSION>>"%TEMP%\NoDomainUI.TMP"
for /f "Tokens=1" %%c in ('net view^|find /i "\\"^|%fnd%') do (
 for /f "Tokens=2*" %%r in ('%qry% "%%c\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CurrentVersion^|find "REG_SZ"') do (
 if "%%s" EQU "5.1" @echo %%c&%add% "%%c\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /V NoDomainUI /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F &@echo.
 )
)
endlocal
 
Let me know if this helps!
