Secure logon-settings are greyed out

My (few) users can logon to their workstations without pushing Ctrl-Alt-Del and just type in their password. I wouldnt do that on the server, but I suppose it is safe here. However on one ws I cannot choose this option in my system settings, it is greyed out

I presume you are logged on as an Administrator.
Can you please make a screenshot of the greyed option.
Logon as an administrator and click Start -> Run and type "control userpasswords2". You can check there if there is an account that logons automatically without asking for logon credentials.

If your machines are joined to a domain, then you can use Group Policy to force every desktop to logon without requiring users to press CTRL+ALT+DEL. This policy is disabled by default on workstations and servers that are joined to a domain and is enabled by default on stand-alone workstations.

If your workstation requires you to press CTRL+ALT+DEL then it's probably a stand alone machine and users are logging in with local credentials - then you can use "control userpasswords2" to force an automatic logon on those machines.
