Re: XP Pro - Logging on to Domain issues



I think you're in the right place. What I meant was that you could use
Active Directory Group Policy to pump this setting out to all machines in
the domain or an OU within the domain as distinguished from changing the
setting on an individual machine.

To change the setting on an individual machine (probably the best way to
test whether this will solve your problem):

Click Start/Run gpedit.msc ENTER.

Expand Computer Configuration, Expand Administrative Templates, Expand
System, and click on Logon - enable the policy.

Note - it may take 2 logons for the policy to be effective.
