We have a network with 5 NT4 servers and about 150 NT4 Workstation clients. We share this network with some other companies.
When the workstations login they got a dialog box where the user has to fill in his name, password and domain.
We would like that the domain name to be invisible (for normal users: not the administrators). Is there a way to change the winlogon dialog box?
It has to do with the gina.dll i found out on the internet.
Can someone help?

put a note or comment with more info of where you found the file, there are several software manufacturers that has modified the gina.dll from MS. Also there are some issues with gina.dll as a simple search on the MS KB showed. So you have to be more specific and carefull.

just a example.
Microsoft recommends that third-party companies use FAT volumes to test their versions of Gina.dll. This facilitates the replacement of the new Gina.dll file.

Hello,
I have two 2c for you.
At first, to my understanding, you have two conflicting requirements: (1) distinguish between administrators and regular users; (2) do so _BEFORE_ they enter their credentials.
At second, even if you solve the problem with the login dialog, do you know the solution for Network Neigbourhood?

Thank you for your time!

You don't really seem to understand your own question or the answer I gave yet you offer no additional info. Find a good C++ programmer who understand the msgina.dll and get him to do it for you.
