Windows 7 cached domain credentials
We have some new laptops running Windows 7. These are domain members. When the user takes the laptop home, the domain login credentials fail because a domain controller can't be found. With Windows XP, we used to be able to do this, presumably because XP cached the domain information. I have edit the registry key - hklm/software/microsoft/wi
Hi, is this happening when the user suspends or shuts down the laptop? Tried suspending at work and logging on at home?
Also, a user has to log into the domain at least once before cached logons work.

I un-joined the domain and joined a workgroup. When I rebooted and logged into local machine, the registry key above was enabled and had a value of 10. When I rejoined the domain, the value reverted to 0 and was greyed out, so no caching was allowed. There must be some setting on the domain that controls that, but so far I haven't located it.
