Windows 7/XP a default domain USERNAME for login.

[Christian Nichols]

I have my golden image setup and joining our Active Directory domain with no issues.

My question now is:
Is there a way I can display a default domain username to login with instead of the computer defaulting to trying to login to the local account.

This is a sysprep’d image if that makes a difference.

I’ve previously read an article about using a SetupComplete.cmd script to auto-delete a local account once sysprep is done setting up everything - so this isn’t as important as figuring out how to give it a default domain username.

Thanks in advance!

the default username is set under WindowsNT/Winlogon in the registry, for more info just google display last user registry (make sure your GPO doesn’t disable this)
