Re: Giving domain user credentials to local user...?

Carlos, I also manage a network for a school and we faced the same issues
you are. Setting up the domain network is the way to go especially as the
network grows and it gives the user-base freedom to use other computer
accross the network with out the tech department needing to bless each
computer with a local login.

You will need delete the local accounts as recommended or you can implement
group policies to disable local login (this works very well). You can also
use startup scripts to disable/delete the local login accounts.
